Of Course

[ladysprite]

The universe apparently doesn't like me whining, and it has a bitter sense of humor.

OF COURSE during an unseasonably cool snap, while my husband is on the opposite side of the country, and I'm coping with muscle tension and pain, the heat would just happen to die in my house.

umbran has talked me (or, more acccurately, the incredibly helpful and live-saving metaphysick) through most of the standard fixes for common problems, but none of them are helping. So now I need to figure out how to get the plumbers in, and pay for it (on top of having to pay up front for hubby's trip, and my quarterly taxes, and medical bills), and how to survive in the uncomfortable chill in the meantime. On top of work and health juggling and everything else.

It's not cold enough to be dangerous, but... it's just the bitterly toxic cherry on top of the I Hate You Sundae the universe is serving up to me right now...

Ugh. There's no good time for that, but this is worse than others. Hopefully it'll be an easy fix for the plumbers. If you get really cold, we successfully raised the temp 10 degrees in our house by boiling water continuously post-Sandy. Just remember to set a timer for it every half hour to add more.
