I don't mean to be a whiner (or a weiner, as my former student thought it was pronounced, which made for a pretty hilarious game of pseudo-charades), but I'm so tired of being cold. And I'm not just talking about it being so cold outside that it hurts to breathe. I am cold inside, too. First of all, I don't think my heat works all that well. When it gets super cold out, I have to crank it up to 80 in order to feel warm. Maybe that's just me being a freak. Sometimes I turn it up to 85, sit on my couch in a cami and shorts, and eat popsicles. I try to fool myself into thinking it's summer.
Anyway, the thing that really upsets me is that there's a problem with my pipes, so I can't take hot showers or baths. This has been going on for over a month now. There was a phase where I got no hot water at all; it just came out as a trickle. Then I got a little bit of hot water, but not enough for a whole bath or shower. Then I only got lukewarm water. After my landlord's most recent trip with the plumber, I was informed that the pipes will have to be replaced, but they can't do it right now because of the weather. He fixed it well enough that I got like, two hot showers, but they ran out of warm water quick. And now I'm back to lukewarm, which is cold by the time I finish. And we're not talking long showers, here! One of my favorite things in the world is a really hot, long, bubble bath, especially in the winter. I miss my baths! This really sucks!!!! Maybe I'll just start bathing at friends' houses.
Sorry for whining. Thanks for listening.
