And... it's back. This is going to be an adventure in hot water-ing.

I was hoping to be showering, too. It's still not fixed.

Still waiting. It sounds like they're working on it but so far, no good. Lol

Thank you. I'm one of those "can't leave the house" without showering people. So, yes. I feel scummy otherwise.

Very excited. In fact we are hearing lots of power tools and such right now, so, getting very excited about being able to shower in my own home again. I know. First world privilege: Acting like a few days without hot water is a tragedy.

WAIT! UPDATE! Just got text from building owner. The new water heater is in Baltimore, (about 45-60 minutes away depending on traffic and where in Baltimore) & will be here and installed this afternoon. Huzzah!

Yes. I wandered around through the hallway by the laundry room (where everything is unplugged) - water and hoses everywhere- the water heater itself looks like it was installed when the place was built (1960s) and in pieces. I've yet to see a real plumber in the building. Getting pissed.

Oh my goodness. Well, I guess committing war crimes is really draining the budget.

Thank you for that. I just took a deep breath and got to a place I've been trying to find. I'm grateful.

Between those and the 12 billion "sign this petition" and "can you donate just..." and "the sky (i.e. democracy) is falling" emails - I'm feeling ... feelings. One of which is guilt for every petition I don't sign but some days I can't even read them because ... feelings.

Someone (on here, I think) told me that after intramuscular injections one ought vigorously raise one's arm (I did both because, why not) over the head and do wide circles - like a child doing the whirligig (or so it was called in my family.) It worked. No sore arm. And you look silly so it's fun.
