Bah, humbug

This is the second day we've been without hot water. The management is installing a brand new water heater. Add that to a three-hour training class this afternoon - away from my computer - and the sum is me in a lousy mood.

Things could be a lot worse. For one, it could have been the water heater in our house in Florida that gave out, which would mean we'd have to pay for a new one. #2, if we hadn't brought meat while we were down in Indiana on Saturday, I never would have noticed that our freezer chest wasn't cold (the water heater blew out several fuses when it went out initially sometime early Saturday morning.) I don't mind chucking a half-eaten container of Black Walnut ice cream that had gotten soft, but if all our meat spoiled I'd really be hoppin' mad. I just flipped the fuse that controls the freezer, got the power going again and went to bed. #3, I was able to turn on the water heater periodically, like if I wanted to mop the kitchen floor or take a shower, through Sunday afternoon, when it blew out 15 seconds after I turned it on with a scary POUF!

I'll be taking a shower and washing my hair tonight. Can't wait!
