MY HERO!

So we had an adventure today... the dryer has been acting up for a few weeks, not drying clothes very well. It has heat, but not very much and takes 3-4 times of full cycles for clothes to dry.

Well, I stepped into the shower today, and BRRRR! No hot water! It wasn't freezing (not as freezing as the cold) but it definitely wasn't WARM! So after shivering through, I called M., who called to make sure the gas bill was paid. It was, thankfully... so what was the problem, then? The pilot light was on--I checked.

The gas company said they would send someone out--within the hour. That we should go outside, and not touch any light switches. EEK!

So we hung out until the Consumers Energy guy showed up, and he waved his little gas detector around, and said nothing was wrong and we needed to call a contractor to figure out why our appliances weren't working correctly.

*sigh*

Like we can afford a contractor right now?

At least the house wasn't going to blow up...

So M went down to look the water heater, and after fiddling with it for a while--we had hot water! WOO HOO!

MY HERO!

Still need to fix the dryer... but at least I don't have to take a cold shower tomorrow!
