Now look here, my birth sign is Aquarius, right? The water element, right? So why is the stuff conspiring against me?!

It is my wont, during winter, to curl up at night with a hot water bottle (well, in absence of a hot boyfriend, obviously. And my ex wasn't so much a hot water bottle as a Nuclear Reactor. That boy could radiate heat in the Antartic. But I digress.) Annnyway, last night I dozed off as usual, cuddling aforementioned hot water bottle, only to wake up feeling cold. And damp. Very damp. Bloody bottle had sprung a leak, hadn't it?

One soggy, cross and cold Mitchy.

This morning (well, afternoon), I leap into the shower only to find that the showerhead must need cleaning again because the temperature of the water is scaldingly hot. There's cursing as I dance out of range of the lethal liquid and adjust the temperature downwards. And further down. And further down. Finally, the water is bearable. I wash hastily and just as I start the rinsing process, the water turns cold enough that I expect to be joined at any minute by frolicing penguins. This time, turning the dial doesn't produce any more heat so I have to rinse off in sub-zero water.

One soggy, cross and shivering Mitchy.

I think the Water Gods are displeased with me. Any suggestions as to what to offer in appeasement?

Sprinkle tobaccco throughout the shower. That might appease the water gods. (just a native american suggestion)

Well that's a novel idea :) It's better than smoking the stuff. Maybe I can nick some cigarettes off the Tobacco Fiends at work. They smoke too much anyway *grins evilly*

you mean showers and hot water bottles don't usually do this to you?

maybe I'm not your best source of advice...

*eyes you* You clearly have upset the hot water bottle gods in your past *nods sagely*

Showers are just evil.

Having put due thought into it, I still recommend fire. And a new hot water bottle. *g*

*chuckles* I already have the new hot water bottle. I usually have a second hot water bottle in the house for emergencies. Of course, I now need to buy another second hot water bottle but eh.

Not a nuclear reactor. I'm not radioactive, it's purely organic produced heat, fueled by beer or jaffa-cakes or something.

*peers into the void* Is that a Scottish Ginger One a-lurking on my journal?? :)
