bathing in the night

i listened to music, a playlist i made, while i took a long hot bath, in the middle of the night. i set it to random shuffle so i was always surprised with the song. the water was so hot, but i adjusted to it and got used to it after a minute or so. i must have been beetroot red. i sunk beneath the water and i couldn't hear the music. just a water muffle in my ears. it was nice, a kind of sensory deprivation. it was also nice and dark, because all i had for lighting was a couple of those ridiculously expensive smelly candles. cinnamon and apple, i think. i couldn't sleep so i just went and had a nice hot bath. in the middle of the night. while everyone was asleep. it was cool.
