hot water is overrated

i am pretty sure only the cool kids take showers in hot water. hot water is totally overrated. right?
apparently i am not a cool kid. i take cold showers. not out of desire, more out of a necessity to get clean. i try to avoid them but i just have not had much luck lately. i don't need to be a cool kid, but i do want a hot shower.. please!! 
lets break it down. a few weeks ago our water heater was moved from one spot in the house to another in a storage room. ever since this happened our hot water has been finicky. (it was never great to begin with) if we didn't shower by nine in the morning we were out of luck for the day and if one of us took to long in the shower the next one up was done for - halfway through, cold water. need to have three people shower in the morning? start drawing sticks one of you is getting a cold shower. this week we have had a couple renters in a house that shares our water heater. can you spell T.R.O.U.B.L.E? the first night they were here they tried to shower, no luck for them, they got cold water. They decided to fiddle with the water heater and were pleased to announce they got hot showers on friday morning. our house still not as lucky, cold showers for us both. finally after more cold showers we called our landlord and got some people to come look at it. it was supposedly fixed and i waited for as long as i could to let the water heat up.
no luck, i'm not a cool kid. i took my freezing cold shower but this time it was made even better by having the water shut off completely halfway through shampooing my head. thats right. soap everywhere and not a drop of freezing cold water coming out. i screamed, then burst into tears <--pregnancy hormones just show up everywhere these days! joey saved the day yet again.

joey took a shower a little after i finished mine. he got hot water. he's a cool kid..

love,
the williams
