olimayA broken water heater. Eight in the evening. No repair van yet. Eleven o'clock at night. Nope, not a chance. When did it start? Been busted since Tuesday? No, it was Thursday. That is bad enough.
Well, here we go. Time for a shower. A cold, cold shower. First I will shave. With just cold water. Put on a video. Five minutes have passed. Ten minutes have passed. Still planning to go? Turn on some music. Turn on the tap. Now, close the curtain. Still not quite ready. I am already here. So no turning back. Okay, pull the knob. Second pause of hissing. The frozen stream hits.
Thinking of a river. Diving in the night. From a car crash. Falling from the bridge. Hit with a thud. Into the cold waters. Can I make it?
Hands crossed to shoulders. Spin like a pansy. Frantically toss the hair. A few fast exhales. Okay, that is good. Turn off the cold. Wow, I made it.
But wait a minute. It is not over. Time for the shampoo.
