brain freeze

My apartment is devoid of luxury. The hot water heater is the latest thing to go. Some time, late Tuesday is stopped heating water that is piped into my small flat.

There are 3 spigits in my home: Kitchen sink, bathroom sink, shower head. In the past weeks there has been a developing problem with these devices.

First, and even when the cold nob was turned the faucet would run 20 seconds worth of warm water. Then it would get cold.

Now all the water is cold.

I needed to shower before work. It was too cold to shower in that water, but I have quite a tuft of hair on my head so I decided to wash it in the shouwer and cloth wash the rest of my outer self.

Initial rinse was fine. Cold, but doable. I scrubbed the 2 in 1 Dove product in my hair. I looked in the mirror at myself because it is not often one gets to see themself with such sudsy follicles, and it was all the visual I hoped it would be.

Then came the tricky part, rinsing it out. This takes longer. I have think hair, and it require some hand squiggy work. and all the hair has to be rinsed out. about 45 seconds into this process my head got the same sensation I had given it early tuesday evening. The feeling one gets when they eat ice cream too quickly and the skull seesm to shrink.

For the record I blame the neighbors upstairs for the whole mess.
