How to take a proper shower

When it's 5 degrees out there !

First you make sure that you have at least 1/2 our of time available. Then you make sure that you won't be disturbed. Lock the door ! Block it with a chair. Tell everybody to use te other bathroom !

And then make sure you have a shower, that has limited flow, so you won't run out of hot water. Get one of those rain-fall heads with a flow of 2.5 gpm or less.

Turn on the water
Make sure it's not too hot in the beginning, we'll turn it up later
Get in, and take your time
Take you time
AFter 10 minutes reduce the cold water some more
Make sure the curtain is completely closed, so no cold air can come into the shower. Use the condensation and the showercurtain to stick the curtain against the edges of the tub enclosure.
That way the shower will be filled with delicious hot steamy air.
Stay in there ! gradually reduce all cold water to zero, and steam boil yourself like a lobster
Enjoy the fruits of our civilization. Running hot water. See how the window is frosted up, and remember it's colder than a witches t.... out there.

Enjoy
