I'm exhausted! We've been having trouble with our heat - long story but the tech has been here twice in a week - well, we still had heat last night, but the registers were clanging, rattling, etc so bad that we had the tv turned all the way up and couldn't hear it. This morning I called again and got a nice on-call guy on the phone. He thought we could adjust the pressure over the phone, so he talked me through it and told me to call him back if I had any more problems. An hour later I checked the furnace and the room had about 1/2" of water on the floor. Yikes! I called him back and he came over. Turns out that there is a leak in the pipe that heats the basement, which is also where our landlord's apartment is. He shut off her valve, bled the air out of our pipes so they wouldn't make any more noise, and said he'd put in a ticket for the pipe to be fixed and re-routed. It's buried under the cement floor so they have to make a new connection. The water literally comes up through the floor.
To top that off, the water softener wasn't working right - the tank was bone dry, so I had to reset that, put 5 bags of salt pellets in (I had to go to the store to get more) and hopefully that's all working nicely now.
Grocery shopping, got home and amanda's friend called so I dropped her off at her house, now here I am. Whew! I was going to work out today but I think I've made enough trips up and down the stairs that I don't have to.
I ran yesterday morning at the gym - my legs are sore today, but it was good. I had no trouble getting up and out on time - I just started to hit a wall at work around 3:00. Nothing a little coffee didn't cure.
I picked up my pass at the mountain yesterday, too, so after they open on Wednesday I'll be cruising on my snowboard. Can't wait! The mountain looks so pretty when it's white.
Can't even think about Thanksgiving yet - I bought a turkey today but that's as far as I got. Ugh.
Now I'm going to go take a nap!
