Hot Water, Still No Internet

We’ve been living in our apartment since Saturday night. We moved in all of a sudden and the landlord wasn’t really prepared, so we understood that some stuff wasn’t working. It was just nice to have a place.

Monday was supposed to be the day we got everything set up and that pretty much happened except for the internet. Hopefully tonight we will finally get it working and McCoy and I can start pumping out some new posts.

Just as a side note, we went from Friday night to Monday night without a real shower. It was torture to try to take cold showers. The water was like freezing sheets of ice rain. And what made it even worse was that we had a perfectly working water cooler that could give us boiling hot water for tea and coffee. It just taunted us.

I actually tried filling up a Nalgene bottle with the near-boiling water and taking it into the shower. So I was in there like jumping under the ice water and then jumping back and splashing myself with scalding water. I also tried mixing them in little glass drinking cups and lining them up on my shower shelves and pouring them over my head one at a time.

Anyway, this is what becomes of you when you lose some basic amenities. Just so you know…
