HOT WATER. Simple as that. Today my house didn't have a trace of warm/hot water. I thought it was only my kitchen but I guess I was wrong. Needless to say after my Legs & Back + Ab Ripper X P90X workout I HAVE to take a shower (since I plan on going shopping later today) and I'm sweating like a pig. But it was VERY difficult to take a shower today =( I usually like nice hot showers, but this water wasn't even lukewarm or room temperature. This was icy, cold, "I feel like I'm going to get hypothermia" water. I tried to take a bath but my toes felt like they were going to fall off even when I just submerged them in water. In the end I opted to take a very QUICK shower that was set at low pressure. I couldn't even think of washing my hair with this ice water!
Being the Chinese people we are, we have a hot water dispenser. So I took a bucket from the basement and filled it with some cold water. Then I also filled the bucket with hot water. Cold water + hot water = warm water that is acceptable to wash my hair. Then I dragged the bucket up to the bathroom and used cup by cup to soak, wash and rinse my hair.
I hope I never have to go through this again. I don't understand how people can swim in the lake during winter. They have guts (or they're just crazy).

No hot water sucks Janet.
I remember one time I was in Seattle for work and they had a severe wind storm that knocked out power to a large chunk of the city and wouldn't you know it my hotel had no power. I still wanted to shower though and I just did this routine if 10 seconds of icy cold water followed by 2 min to warm up before going in for more cold water.
The water was so cold that after the shower I actually felt warm cause the ambient air temperature was so much warmer than my body...I could see the steam coming evaporating off.
You should go to the school gym to shower or something :)
