Sometimes you just don't know what you've got until it has slowly ebbed away and is gone. I'm talking about hot water people. My Aussie and I have discovered that although our apartment is designed for 2+ people to live in, the hot water tank is designed for .5 people to actually bathe there. And we are in the middle of our winter so there is nothing more delicious and decadent than taking a nice hot shower to get the chill out. But until the landlord approves a larger water tank, I have become a speed-showerer. I feel this is a true testament of my love for my Aussie and I want him to have a hot shower as well, so I will turn off the water to lather or to shave just to give him an extra couple minutes of hot water.
But now that the temperatures have dropped, turning off the water is really not an option. It's too cold and I get goose bumps and if you've ever tried to shave goose bumps, it's not pretty. So as much as I hate to admit it, I've just stopped shaving. Or I should say I shave about twice a week. Gross? Yes. Liberating? Heck yes. I don't think my Aussie is completely put off by it but I'm probably pushing his limits.
Let's just hope the plumber arrives pretty quickly here, before I retire the razor for good. Hee hee!!
Aww, it's a trade off, I suppose. He gets a hot shower, but prickly legs next to him in bed!
ReplyDeleteI say don't shave and be free. It's winter! You most likely have your legs covered, right? Call me crazy but I would look at it as the perfect opportunity to quit that chore for awhile ;)
