Dear Humans,

It seems like I spend most of my time in the shower adjusting the temperature. It’s too hot or too cold and I constantly have to move the handle. And then I yell because I made it too hot or too cold. And then readjust and readjust again.

Sometimes I dream the dream of my shower always being the perfect temperature. And I suppose I could make it happen if I took some drastic changes. If I installed a tankless water heater or if I made a strict schedule of hot water use in my house.

But, honestly, adjusting the shower temperature is pretty low on my list of life’s irritations. And it’s a nice exercise for living. Because in our complex world full of wonder and weirdness, we have to be prepared to adjust and readjust and readjust again.

Sincerely,

Mr. H
