Still water runs deep - but cold water tix me off!!!

So here I am wondering if anyone will read this...if so...fantastic.

This morning I was ready for a steaming hot shower. I have not had one in over three months and since moving into the apartment the boiler has been on the fritz - so still no hot water!!! I am not able to have the mythical cold shower that everyone is so eager to steer you towards, "for health reasons". Instead, I opt for a bath with the legwork of running back and forth to the kitchen with kettles of hot water, boiling water on the stove and adding that to the brew. Yesterday all was supposed to have been fixed and my delight at feeling warm (note: NOT HOT) water pouring through the taps was enough to send me to Nirvana. I decided that it would be bet to turn it off and give it till the morning to heat up.

I leapt out of bed this morning with the thought of a hot shower in mind and to my deep dismay I found that not only was the water not warm, it felt as though it was pouring out in ice chunks. My mood went from a light blue, fluffy and happy one to a dark and sour mood in one foul swoop.

The legwork behind me, mood subdued and work ahead of me - I am facing the day smelling like a daisy and working hard at keeping things looking up.
