One more house problem

So, Sunday night, LAST Sunday night, the back half of the house's electricity blips. Probably just another blown fuse, but I can't see which one, so I wait for Steve to get home. Once he gets home, the lights are working fine. So maybe I was just hallucinating.

Then,

The oven won't work.
The dryer never did dry the last load of clothes.
The stove won't work.
The house is getting a bit stuffy.

Then, Monday evening, to add insult to injury, I go to take my bath, and the water won't get above barely tepid.

Geesh.

So we suffer all week. I invade various family members for showers for me and the kids. We suffer through the laundromat. We burn up at night. We live off TV dinners all week. (Oh, and tuna fish....) I'm too old for this.....


The electrician comes today. They can't understand how the place hasn't burnt down. Of course

So we are temporarily displaced this week while the house gets rewired.

Fun.

Playing House

I'm really hating the house today.

Last night, something 'blipped' and the back half of the house went dark. We left it alone until Steve come home, and for some odd reason, when he tested the lights, they all worked fine.

However....

The oven had stopped working.
The stovetop had stopped working.
The dryer had stopped heating.
The air had stopped working.

So today, after we get home from work, I decide to get a bath.

The hot water had stopped working.



I can take all the above, just..........Not the Hot Water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From his estimates, the power meter is in the process of breaking. Which is expensive.

Of course.

And....

Rowan had to go the the doctor today----she wasn't kicking her low grade fever. The doctor decided she was a likely candidate for ADD or ADHD.
