Cold shower

Hello everyone,

It was very cold yesterday. Even with my big winter coat, I felt the cold. I don't know about today though. The weekend is just too short. Maybe it's because I work and go to school during the entire week that I feel like this. So the only time I have for myself is the weekend but I have to study and work on my school assignment. Oh dear...
 
The basement is almost done. My uncle isn't done with painting yet. It's going to take forever. But the plumber came last week to assemble the shower and the sink. So at least there's one part done. The entire basement should be done next year I think. Anyways, the plumber came on Thursday. I was suppose to leave the house at 2pm to catch the bus that day. I was just taking my time to eat breakfast and read my classnote. I was about the wash the dishes but there was only cold water. I guess the plumber turned the hot water off for some reasons. So I was waiting till it was noon and still no hot water. What am I going to do? I need to take a shower before going to work. So I went to do some business in my bedroom just to keep myself busy and when I came back downstairs, the plumber was gone. So I went to the sink and.....no hot water!!! @_@
 
It was 13h30. I just have 30 minutes before my bus come. What do I do? I don't have the plumber's number and I must contact mu uncle to have it. Mom told me that uncle would come fix it after work. But damn, I can't till 17h. I need a shower RIGHT NOW. Mom suggested to skip it for a day. Oh hell no! I ain't going to work stinking like that. So you know what? I am just going to take a cold shower. That's right!!! Don't be a scaredy cat and take your cold shower. So I went there, took a deep breath, and turned on the water. As soon as cold droplets touched my skin, I was like "Fuck this shit!". Are you kidding me? A cold shower on winter? I just can't. I really can't.
 
It was 2h15pm and I missed my bus. Mom told me she could give me a ride to the subway. So I have exactly 1 hour to make up my mind and leave for work. Skipping a shower is just out of question. There was just no choice. I grabbed an empty bucket and an electric kettle. That's right! A bucket and a kettle... So it took around 6 minutes to heat up a full kettle of cold water. So I was there mixing the boiling water with cold water. I had to use something to scoop the water on myself. Good lord! At least I was on time for work. @_@
