Ok, it's colder than a witch's titty here and there's actually snow on the ground outside, as opposed to inside. lol Any way, just as the cold snap begins to hit, we run out of heating oil. Of course it's Thursday night when it happens. I call Southern States early Friday morning. I stayed up all night Thursday so I could call them. Well, did they come out with the oil? Oh yeah, right away. Try Tuesday morning. So then the temperature outside gets even colder and finally just as we finally get the heating oil we need, the water pipes freeze up. Yay! Well we get the furnace running and the house gets warm and soon the water is back on.
So from Tuesday til Saturday, everything is cool. The weather gets colder and then Saturday morning Shawn comes in to my bedroom and looks in my closet and tells me there is water leaking from the water heater! It's just pouring out, not a small little trickle but a gusher. So on Sunday I call a friend, James who is a heating and plumbing guy. He came out and found that the water heater was leaking and it looked like it had been leaking for quite some time. The floor in the closet is gone now.

James hooked me up though. He went to Home Depot or something and got me a water heater and put in in a flash~

The man knows his shit, I gotta give him props. So now we got heat and hot water!

So here I sit all cleaned up and feeling all fresh like a newborn baby in my new jammies with stars and moons and snowflakes all on them, so do you call your night clothes jammies or a nightie? Any way, I showered, shampooed, put on a nice warm clean nightie, combed my hair, changed my colostomy bag,(I figured since all of me was all clean and fresh that I should change my bag not just drain and rinse it)brushed my teeth and put some lotion on my face. I feel so good right now and I didn't ever run out of hot water either. Life is good!
