How I Dealt with the Morning

Snowing over the past few days, with freezing temperatures overnight and in the mornings, something had to give out. This morning I found out my hot water pipes were the first. Waking up in an icebox and finding that out isn't too pleasant, so I had to improvise and use my water boiler in the kitchen. I did however wash my hair in the freezing shower, reminding me of what I heard about a part of Shinto monk training. Getting bucket after bucket of cold water poured over them in the dead of winter. Based on my experience this morning, I think I have a way to go before I get there.
