The Blind Shower

I'm wet and blind. The shower is hot and I'm nearly finished all that I have to do is wash my hair which I do at the end of my shower. (Am I getting to personal here?) Well I fumble around on the shelf in the shower looking for my shampoo. I know it by the shape and color of the bottle. It's not there and I panic. I suddenly remember that I had taken a shower downstairs and brought my shampoo there...why?...well that is another story for another day.
What to do now? I guess I could use the bar of soap in my hand, I've done it before that last time this happened.

Well these woman collect all kinds of lotions, soaps, shampoos in multicolored bottles crowded on a small shelve in the shower. I don't ask what they are all for or why there are so many. But now I need one of them but which one? I randomly reach for a bottle hoping that I get one that says shampoo. I don't care at this point if is scented with apples, pine cones or ammonia, I just want to clean my hair. Well the bottle is in my hand but I have no idea what the contents hold. I CAN"T READ THE LABEL. The water is streaming down my face and I strain to read something that will tell me if I am abut to clean,straighten or color my hair. I didn't think that I would have to bring my glasses with me to the shower . Showering blind. Dam! I wonder if people wear there contacts in the shower of if they make braille labeled shampoo bottles? Well a little bit out of each bottle should do the trick especially since I may be running low on hot water.
