Is it OTT to have a shower and a bath in the same day?

Was just thinking about this as I often have a shower on a Sunday morning post gym but then have a bath in the evening - an “all bath” and to relax. Yesterday though I felt a little bit guilty wondered if it was a bit OTT?

Couldn't care less.

Why would you feel guilty? I suppose it’s a lot of water….

I would consider the shower after the gym as " functional" and so not unreasonable to have a bath in the evening for relaxation and pleasure.

Similarly, weather conditions or activities during the day sometimes make it necessary to have a shower or bath at both ends of the day.

So no I don't think it's unreasonable.

Once a week? I wouldn't think twice about it. I wouldn't do it more often myself though as it would dry out my skin.

As you've been to the gym it's fine. I sometimes have two showers on warm days when I've also had a gym session or a run.

It's not something I do often but I certainly wouldn't feel guilty.
I will feel guilty when every leaking pipe wasting water is fixed.
I think some people feel like they are saving the world having a miserly 2 minute shower but until the big stuff (water wastage by huge companies) is dealt with they are pissing in the wind!
