You have just clawed yourself out of bed and pulled off your clothes ready for the most invigorating part of your morning ritual when it’s COLD!!! Yes, of course it gets you up but so does a smack in the face and who wants to start a day that way. I understand a cold shower is good for your skin but my skeleton really hates it. . I also understand that I might be lowering my carbon footprint by taking a cold shower but I’d rather take a shower in the dark then turn off this heat. The cost is no burden to bear for I will work hours longer in the dog shift just to feel a few more moments in a nice hot shower. A cold shower is cruel and unusual punishment to start the day and I believe it should be banned from my life forever.
