Cold Cowboy

Did you ever wake up in the morning and wish that there was someone sleeping next to you that you could cuddle with? I felt like that today ... 'cause I was cold. I tried hugging my pillow - but he didn't do the trick. I figured a nice steamy shower was the next best thing to ... um ... warm me up. But no, the universe was conspiring (once again) against me. Not only did I have no heat this morning ... but I also had no hot water. I didn't even have warm water. So, being the resourceful guy that I am, I filled up all my pots on my stove, turned on the gas, filled some pyrex bowls with the warm water, carried them to my bathtub, got naked, and poured the warm water over my head. I have to admit - I pretended that I was a cowboy and that this was how I bathed every day. It was oddly fun - although I'm not sure how clean it got me.
