Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Tom, I hate to out myself as a former Hee Haw watcher to point this out, but I think the first word of that refrain is "gloom."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am so looking forward to taking a cold shower tomorrow morning before heading out into the freezing weather!

Um. Did you take a shower today? Have you been exercising? It's OK to not shower every day.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can't function right without a shower in the morning, unless the first thing I'm going to do is get hot and sweaty, in which case I know a shower's coming later. Stuff just doesn't happen as well if I'm not bathed. It's a thing.

I definitely hear that, but no hot water? In Michigan? In January? No thanks.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I LIKE to shower everyday, but frankly, now that I have a baby that's a luxury. I figure once I have two babies, people will be lucky if I manage to brush my hair once a day.

If I only had a brain...

I shower before bed. It's one of those religious divides; some people get up and get clean, some people get clean and go to bed. Fortunately, my husband is the former and I'm the latter.

Well, okay, I've taken a handful of cold baths and one cold shower in my adult life. Very against the cold. Even in LA in the summer. But that's what makes it an issue -- balancing the temporary intense discomfort, or the lingering disquiet.

Spongebath, or lots of kettling.

I'd sponge bathe with water heated on the stove before willingly going 3 days between showers.

I don't shower every day anymore, and I kind of love it. I think it's better for my skin and hair, too.
