We SoCalians woke up to a morning that was so cold that our SoCal eyeballs could not read the temperature on the digital thermostat. Nor would our ears understand the words on the morning T.V. show weather report. Mr. Zoom had to Mythbusters me out of the bed. I shower first.

Shower warm Shower good. Our shower door allows one inside to see shapes walking by. Shapes that one can only hope are her husband. I was pushing the length of time for my shower when I saw Mr. Shape Zoom come by to nudge me. “I’m staying in here all day!” I shouted. “You can force me out of bed, BUT YOU CAN’T MAKE ME LEAVE THE SHOWER! I’m BraveShowerHeart!”

Mr. Shape Zoom said nothing. He turned, walked three steps and flushed the toilet.
