When Shanna awoke on Monday morning it was about 7 a.m. She dragged herself to the kitchen to get a cup of coffee. That was her habit and routine. Coffee. She didn't wake up and rush to the bathroom to wash her face or brush her teeth. She couldn't even think about dealing with life or thinking without at least one cup of coffee. Whether this was a superficial belief or a deep truth, she didn't care to change it. She was comfortably settled about the daily ritual.

The next day, Shanna was sitting in her cushy chair looking over some stickers that she thought she might use for a new deck of cards. She was frustrated as she looked them over. She didn't really like the style of the stickers and there wasn't enough of them to create the number of cards she wanted to make. She put the stickers in a folder and back on the shelf and decided that she could not make the cards. Reba would have to wait until Shanna could figure out how to make a quality deck.

The Existential Woman
After surfing the internet and playing some online games, Shanna looked around the small condo and decided to do some cleaning. The kitchen sink was filled with dishes. They weren't all her dishes. Her brother Norman had put some dirty dishes in the sink also. Norman and Shanna lived together in the small condo. It was all they got as an inheritance from their father when he died a few years previous. It only had one small bedroom and one small bathroom, but the siblings made the best of it. They each had a twin bed in the bedroom, and they each had their own "spot" in the living room. It was cramped, but neither of them could afford to go anywhere else. Although Norman worked, he couldn't afford the prices of other dwellings. Shanna couldn't find anything within her retirement budget either, so they tolerated each other. Sometimes Shanna loved her brother Norman very much and was glad that they were roommates. Sometimes she couldn't stand the sight of him and was glad she had her own vehicle so she could drive off and get away from him for awhile. This particular weekend, Norman was the one who drove off in his vehicle. He had invited her to go camping with him, and although there was a part of her that wanted to enjoy time with him again like they used to a decade ago, she declined his invitation. She didn't want to risk an argument between them while camping when their homelife was finally getting to a comfortable peace between them. She turned the sink water on and washed the dishes quickly, setting the washed ones on the drying rack. Once the sink was empty, she wiped it clear of any food or residue. Then she took the garbage out. Her cat Selia stared at the open door looking for a chance to run out.

The Existential Woman
Shanna took a shower. She liked the water hot, but not scalding. She liked the water to create a steamy room which was easy to accomplish with the bathroom door closed because the bathroom was so small. When the water felt enjoyable to her hand, she stepped in and closed the shower curtain to stop any spillage. Then she tilted her head back and let the hot pouring water soak her hair and head. She lathered up a bar of soap in her armpits, and giggled about how she had decided not to shave the hair there. It was not a feminist action, because she had shaved her legs just a few days previous in the bathtub. She had decided not to shave her armpit hair for health reasons and for her preference. She liked the feeling of silky legs, but she did not like the feeling of shaven stubbles in the armpit. She preferred the feeling of her soft armpit hair, and she knew that deodorant on shaved areas could create health issues. For all of these reasons, she decided that she would break the habit of shaving her armpit hair. Yet she giggled touching the nice soft hair there, knowing how the world she grew up in thought about women who didn't shave that hair. "I'm a beast!" she laughed and enjoyed the scent of the saop. She let the water rinse off the soap as she held up her arms to the shower head.
