[BlindTlk] a couple of personal hygene questions

[Ericka]

I guess I could do that for the conditioner too. Although it’s a bit harder to tell. When I had a little better vision I could tell when the water ran clear. Now the bathroom lighting isn’t good enough for me to tell. I kind of do the same thing with the shampoo. It does kind of squeak now that I think about it.
