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.
