Technicians relit our gas appliances at 9:20 this morning. As soon as the water was hot, I ran the dishwasher and then tackled that mountain of laundry. Tonight we will enjoy our showers. Tomorrow I will do two more loads of laundry.
I'm glad it's over. Moving on. KW
Glad you're back to operational! We got lit late yesterday afternoon and as soon as possible I ran the dishwasher. We had kept a big stockpot of water warm on the stove and Dan helped me wash my hair in the kitchen sink by pouring a pitcher of warm water over my head so at least I had been able to do that. Like you, I realized that compared to many, many in the world, our "problem" was no real problem. I washed my hair with water we could actually drink.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I read about Ma in her kerchief and I in my cap, I am reminded of the luxury to be warm. I am grateful to not need to wear a hat to bed! I am glad that you were all able to weather the time without gas without too much discomfort.
ReplyDeleteI don't wear a hat to bed, but I have taken to wearing socks. I sleep better if my feet are warm. And when it's really cold, I pull a shawl over my neck and shoulders.
ReplyDeleteI was amused that the local newspaper interviewed the homeless for tips on staying warm. Layer your clothing, use extra blankets, and double your tent were among the suggestions.
