So, I took a shower today to try out my new shower. I couldnt' get any hot water. I really hate cold showers. So, I got out wrapped myself in a towel, wrapped my bathrobe around that, grabbed a pair of undies and some jeans and went downstairs for a hot rinse. I called the plumber and he said he thought he adjusted it enough. Ther's an extra temperature adjuster on the shower so you don't have to adjust it when you turn it on, it wouldn't go past the connection between the red and blue (cold and hot). Apparenetly he didn't think I like some hot or even warm water in my shower. Actually I'm one of those people that LOVE scalding hot showers.

The first part of this post and the last part totally don't intertwine.

Yeah, well welcome to my mind. The world doesn't always make sense in here, but it works for me. At least you can leave my mind, I'm stuck in it forever.
