excuses excuses

for someone who is so eager to minimize my carbon footprint,
i waste so much water and electricity when taking a hot shower.

it is the one vice i indulge myself in:
it soothes a tired soul and it relieves headaches.
i know i should be getting that 4-minute shower timer.
i can finish in less than that actually, but
there's always the extra 5-minute indulgence of just standing in the shower.

thankful i can compensate though:
i don't use a heater much in these cold days:
i put on warm clothes and recently got myself wheatbags from ebay.
