And my mantra shall be: At least we have water

Jun. 9th, 2012 at 11:16 PM

We returned from my mil's on Tuesday to find that we had no hot water. The repairman came on Thursday and said a part needs to be replaced, a part that will have to be ordered and "probably won't arrive very quickly."

Please get it here as quickly as you can, I asked. Because, yeah, S can fit in a little basin in the tub, but moi...not even one of my feet fill fit comfortably in that thing. Sponge bathing is not fun.

I just want to feel clean again!

So do I. It is so annoying having to boil water to do everything. It is amazing how much we take for granted turning a tap and having instant warm water.

We are very spoiled when you come to think of it.

Oh, I do, too! You're right. We're so accustomed to that convenience that when we have to do without it, it's like living primitive.

One week in and still doing the no-hot-water thing. And wouldn't you know it is a blustery, rainy 57 degrees out. Not exactly cold shower weather.

I have taken cold showers on occasions like this. That's how addicted to showers I am. :-/

Yeah, I've taken a couple of cold showers, but it is still too chilly here to enjoy them. :(

I know! This afternoon, I spent time talking with a lady who has a 3 yo and a 3 month old, and I kept looking at that tiny little baby, trying to remember Soëlie being so small. It was difficult. :P

this photo makes S look teeny-tiny---like she's maybe bathing in an egg cup :-)

Hope you get your hot water back soon.

I'm always torn between she's-so-small and she's-getting-so-big!

I called the repairman today but got his answering machine. He didn't get back to me. :(
