I had ice seep into my cellar, build up and crack/freeze pipes. Then my oil company forgot to deliver oil to me. Then the pipes froze enough that I couldn't feed water into my boiler.
Which meant I lived like a Pilgrim from Tuesday afternoon through Friday afternoon. Four days without running water and inconsistent heat was a challenge. Despite needing to melt snow to bath, to flush the toilet, to cook, etc - I REFUSED to give in and go stay at my parent's or cousin's house. Stubborn, much?!?! :-)
Add in a less than lovely (read: craptastic) work week, and a few other unforseen complications, and by Friday afternoon - I wanted to cry into a really large glass of wine. But I made it! I have heat, running water and enjoyed a fantastic game night last night.
This week will be better, right? It has to be!

And don't you appreciate little things like heat and running water when you are without them for a while? I'm glad you're back to normal.
ReplyDeletePoor house. It's having a rough time isn't it? It needs some loving - and you need a break! :-) XOXO!
ReplyDeleteUh ... wow. That's impressive. I made reservations at a hotel for Tuesday and Wednesday night because I'm worried that I might lose power. I'm a wuss. I'm proud of you!!!!

ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you had a rough week, but glad things are better now!
ReplyDeleteSending you a huge hug cole. I have 10 different buckets stratigically placed around my house where water is leaking in from the layers of ice on my roof that is coming in and forming ice damns. We have 3 feet of snow in our back yard which makes for lovely cardio exercise when I have to go all around the outside with a roof snow rake to try and bring down the tons piled on the roof. So much for global warming! Here is to a wonderful new week! Alex
ReplyDeleteUgh! That sounds awful. I'm glad you've got heat and water again.
