Shivery Freezing...

This morning I was forced to "play Canada". You see the only hot water in my house comes from a small water heater in my bathroom. Usually I leave that baby on all day and all night and so whenever I want to shower or use hot water... I've got some right there! Smart thinking right?

Anyway for some reason I've been blowing fuses left, right and centre... the power keeps randomly going off and its really annoying because its usually at night or just when I get out of the shower and everything shuts off and then I have to figure out a way to clothe myself properly, in the dark, and manoever across the dark apartment without bashing my leg on the coffee table towards the door where I know my flip flops are scattered somewhere to putting them on and then going outside.. walking to the side of the house and flicking the switch... all the while cursing this country and it's lack of reliable power!

So I figured.. after the power going out many many many times for many many many nights in a row, that if I had less turned on, the chances of it going off will decrease. (smart girl, I know) So I've started turning the waterheater off... This has worked out fine because when I get up in the morning I turn it on and then go for a run and such and when I'm ready to shower.. there is plenty of hot water! Beautiful system!

But today... I forgot to turn it on when I woke up.. and so had an icey cold shower... The other problem is that I used different shampoo and conditioner from my regular and so by mistake used the conditioner as shampoo and then was alarmed at the soapiness of my supposed conditioner... so had to add an extra rinse and conditon in there.. It was COLD I tell you.. shivery cold...

And really, it was nothing like "playing" Canada. In Canada I get to have long hot showers! The longest my showers go here with a full tank of hot water is approximately 4 minutes... enough to get shampooed, soaped and partially shaved legs.. It's awesome! Gotta love the cold water "refreshing" rinse...

Ok but do you even know how excited I am to be going home?? Less than 1.5 days of work... only 2 sleeps... and a little less than 48 hours til flight time!
