…longer than I did this morning. I woke up this morning and felt like crap: scratchy throat and digestive tract unpleasantness. I opted to take the day off. I’ve got a trip next week, I need to be well! I stayed in bed for about half the morning, sleeping off and on. Finished another book that I’ll blog about in a bit. Then I got up and watched a few movies and sat on the couch.
Then I had the brilliant idea that a nice hot shower might make me feel some better. So, as I do everyday when I shower, I turned on the water to let it run for a few minutes and steam up before I got in. Now I don’t like a hot shower. I always turn the water tempature back down before I actually get in. But when I did that today, I noticed the water wasn’t nearly as warm as it usually is, but it wasn’t cold. Just more lukewarm than normal. I’m washing my face when suddenly one of the smoke detectors starts going off!
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
ACK!! It was a horribly annoying thing. I drug my dripping wet self out of the shower, threw on a robe, grabbed the broom, and beat the offending little plastic disc until it fell out of the ceiling and stopped making racket.
I went back to the shower, only to discover that the water had gotten even colder. I cranked the handle all the way to hottest setting but it would never warm up. I quickly washed my hair and got out, now even colder than before I took the shower. Grrrrrr.
