How to: Well shower like a Yeti in winter

At some point in our lives we just reach a point that we have to do what we have to do. For me, it was tonight. My last blog of the week is going to be humor. I hope you love it.

Like many people this week, we too are out of water. We have worked very hard to get our cottage to the point of having hot water for an indoor shower. Unfortunately, our water lines froze. We still have water to our outdoor yard hydrant though.....that's when I got the idea!

The long week with frozen lines and construction work has led to a pretty undesireable situation. Even though we can still do buckets and rags...it just isn't the same. I mean shoot, it's up to 30°f. So I summoned all the strength of my ancestors and walked into the darkness. Of course Stacie D said "Wait!.....pictures".

HOW TO WELL SHOWER LIKE A YETI

Step 1. Do some sort of calistetics while repeating some sort of mantra to get psyched up.

Step 2. Put on a pair of flip flops that are too small (because your spouse threw away yours), this will give you superior grip on the unruley terrain.

Step 3. Stand patiently staring at the stream of water trying to convince yourself that it is warmer than you know it is.

Step 4. DO IT, head first, no fear start soaping at the top.

Step 5. Pause for dramatic photo for your wife.

Step 6. Rinse like crazy and repeat if you're feeling brave.

Step 7. Dry face and head (and tears) before you freeze from prolonged photo taking.

Step 8. Finish showering like normal. Feel free to insert a Yeti holler at any point. This helps to deter night animals from eating you, and reminds your family to come get you incase you die.

ONCE YOU ARE DONE

Remember to have your clothes all ready and a hot fire going. It is important to be sure to dry off as much as possible and dress quickly to prevent further embarrassment....I mean coldness.

For those of you that are also bearded, be sure to take care of that cold beard too!
