Home Improvement
The tiolet is fixed. Let's start with that. Despite a multi-day repair
process, a dethawing of the pipes, and, finally, replacement parts the
problem was never really that bad. The tiolet just kept running
sometimes. And now it doesn't.
More interesting, is the fact that we've lost power in the middle of
the night twice this week. The first time happened while I was reading
Stephen King's 'Salem's Lot in bed just as the vampires cut the power
in the book. I survived the night, only for us to lose power again in
the middle of the next one. Anyways, the more frustrating thing about
power outages is reseting my alarm clocks (probably time to put the
battery backup in). Luckily with two of us, Sarah and I have managed
to make it out of the house mostly on time.
Well, at least until this morning that is.
"Sarah, I'm stuck in my room." "Stuck?" "Yeah, the door knob won't turn." "Are you sure it's not locked?" "Yeah, I'm sure..."This door's been tricky ever since I moved in, but usually a few wiggles get the thing open. Not anymore. Finally with both Sarah and I turning it from both sides, it let me out. Hallelujah! Sarah was late to class.
