When The Heat Goes Out Of Your Relationship
No heat? Nothing to keep you warm at night? Yeah, same here.
We currently have no working furnace, can't use the downstairs bathroom, and are still without water. But the good news is, there's a hole in the dining room ceiling and our downstairs bath is torn apart. Yep. That's the good news.
Turns out the water heater had been leaking for a long time and the water damage was so extensive the plumber had to call in specialists to take care of things before finishing the install of the new tank.
Now, the new team has stated quite clearly they believe our landlord should be putting us up in a motel or something and, to be honest, I quite agree. But for one more night, I'm willing to tough it out. Sure, the smell and mold and such are making me wheezy, it's cold, and we're fighting the noise from the fans and dehumidifiers. I guess I'm just a glutton for punishment.
If there's no heat tomorrow though, I'm outta here. Don't know where I'll go, but I'll find something. Dude has his dad's house, so no worries there. He thinks being a little cold tonight and taking a shower at my mom's is an adventure. How lucky am I?
My advice for those of you experiencing a loss of heat in your "relationship" is to grab that heating pad, lots of blankets, and find a cuddle buddy. It won't necessarily be as comfortable as what you normally have, but it'll be a good test of your inner strength and maybe even the family bond.
Just don't let anyone have beans or cabbage for dinner.
