Water, Water, Everywhere
I got into bed and turned off the light. Suddenly I heard a CRASH! I got up and went into the kitchen and some of my spices were down on the floor. I looked at the top of the refrigerator, and there's Zara. Sigh. I retrieved the spices and went back to bed. This morning, she was on top of the cabinets. My mountain climber.
No water yet.
Took a nap. Apparently the plumber came by when I was asleep, and I didn't hear the door. Oops. Finally got in touch with the plumber. He came by and fixed it. He told me to leave the water on tonight so that it won't freeze. Apparently the wind knocked down some of the skirting around the mobile home and that's why it froze.
Zara is in a box with the flaps down. I'm playing with her, going "Where did Zara go? I don't see Zara." Etc. And then she pops her head up. Goof :)
I'm trying to convince myself to take a shower. I want to take one in case the water is out tomorrow morning. But I have a bad case of the lazies.
I'm booting up my computer because there are entries that I can't read on the LJ app. I tried using the browser on the phone, and it said that there were no entries on my friend's feed. Bushwa.
Apparently I ran out of hot water leaving the faucets on. I now turned them on cold. So I'm waiting to take a shower until the hot water heater heats up more water. I wound up taking an ice-cold shower. I know that some people do that to build character, but I'd rather have less character. Anyway, it's done. I'm going to lie under my blankets and thaw.
I set up my Google Nest Hub and love it. I can bring up recipes on it, view cooking videos, plus everything that my Google Home Mini would do. (Timers! I love hands-free timers!)
I tried on my new hiking boots, and they'll do. Need to remember to lace them up tight.
Looked at Meetups in the general area. There's s Springfield hiking group that's planning a hiking trip to Italy in 2021. And they're starting at Lake Garda. Some of the hikes are along cliffs though, which makes me nervous. There's a trip along the Amalfi coast that is my dream trip.
Zara is now hiding behind my laptop. Goof :)
I'm printing the manual for the bread machine that I got at Goodwill, and it has a recipe for raisin bread that sounds great. Need to get some raisins and yeast tomorrow.
Cleaned part of the kitchen and bathroom. I'm going to get up early to get more cleaning done, plus I have my dentist's appointment at 11:30.
