electriclandYesterday for dinner I had lasagna. I also unpacked more boxes and put out lots of recycling while waiting for the Direct Energy person to come and turn on the hot water heater. He didn't show up until 9ish, which meant that I didn't make it to a movie with K, but I wanted hot water more than I wanted to see The Da Vinci Code. Turning on the hot water appears to involve doing what I was doing already, only more so. Although he may have done something mysterious that I didn't see, and is of course more qualified.
I also built a shelf, which now needs to be attached to the kitchen wall. I am producing quite a long list of things that need to be done that I cannot do on my own.
This morning I had a bath in Jen's bathtub (after wiping it down) and applied a second coat of oil to part of my kitchen counter. I also had breakfast.
Accomplishments:
- We have hot water!
- I found my cutlery, which means I can eat.
Nothing is Ever Simple dept.:
- Plug in Jen's bathtub needs attention or a gasket or something. The seal is quite ineffective.
- Also, the cap on the U-bend in the drain from the bathtub is leaky. (Don't worry, it was just a trickle in the basement, not a flood. I put a waste bin under it. One of Jen's boxes did get a little damp but it's marked "Vases and glasses" so I'm assuming that the contents will be OK.)
