Not to bitch, complain and pout but could things go smoothly just once?! I feel like the events over the last 72 hours have been a bit of a parody of the saying "When God closes a door, He opens a window". More like "When God closes a door, He opens a window and then as Muir climbs through it, He slams it down on her back!" Things had gone so well with the tiling - even though the timeline I had for the floor got a bit whacked. And then I got sick. Okay - no biggie - I can deal...most of the stuff that needed to be done got done. And then the water heater goes out. No hot water in the Hanke household presently. And I was so looking forward to a bath last night after slaving away moving the fridge, painting base boards and working to remove leaves. And then it starts raining and the leaf removal is put on hold. And then I look at the weather and I hear "moderate risk" for severe weather and "sheer winds" of up to 70 or 80 mph. Is this a joke. I can't tell how horribly nervous I am. The next 24 hours are going to SUCK! I've already told Jim to get the basement ready. I just don't want a tree through my roof. UGH! I hate this bullshit!
Can I start drinking now? Would that be bad?
And truly I'm trying not to freak out but watching TV isn't helping because everyone on every channel is talking about the weather and all the shit that's about to hit the fan in the tri state area. ARG!
Okay - so I guess I'll go make breakfast. Doing the dishes should be fun without hot water.
Later!
UPDATE: Hot water heater is purchased and Big Al of Big Al's Plumbing will be here after noon to install (about $800 later). Someone is looking out for Muir. God probably figures he might as well throw me a bone since he's going to wreak havoc on me later with the weather.
