People - How did you celebrate the first day of the New Year?
Me - Oh, I sang, danced, and exercised!

People - Wow, that is great! Sounds like a perfect day.
Me - Yeah. Was able to find 10 minutes for myself. You know, with a small baby and all.

People - Huh, 10 minutes?
Me - Yeah, the party lasted a whole of 10 minutes!

People - Puzzled silence.
Me - Yeah. A singing scream escaped my mouth as soon as the water drops from the shower hit my body, so I sang. Then I broke into a wave dance as those drops rolled down - a rhythmic dance to my shivering song. I slightly jogged on my toes all the while applying soap - the exercise for the day. Finally, came out shivering, after the action packed session of a simple shower of 10 minutes.

Taking a bath when it is 7 degrees, is indeed a party of sorts! 😆😶‍🌫️🥶
