because you are desperate to know:

our water is back on.

yesterday our furnace broke. heat-leaking-ness meant that it was a balmy 40 degrees in the living room this morning. the three of us spent last night sitting on alyssa's floor in our coats next to a ridiculously weak space heater, eating bad chinese food and cheering every degree of the stupid heater's meager output. then we had a sleepover upstairs.

however: as of mid-afternoon, our heat is back too.

please Lord, no more house-related disasters.

give me more sympathy. or money. whichever.
