hot water!

[ktron]

the news is all good tonight... when i stopped by the apartment offices this morning to pay rent, the mention of not having enough hot water was greeted not with rolling eyes but with an "oh, we'll have a maintenance person stop by and turn the heater up." presto. no more boiling water every time i want a decent bath. must remember not to whine about the uselessness of it all until i ask next time.

and, even better news, i finally got to talk to le boyfriend tonight. not for long, and over a din of screaming nephews, but it's far more satisfying than the sad little answering machine message i got saturday when i finally quit waiting by the phone and went out to the reunion thingy. (going out=guarantee that phone will ring, it will be the desired party, and my trusty cell phone will have turned itself off.) reunioning was fun... lots of good folks there. i feel a bit fish-out-of-water in good intellectual discussions these days, and even worse when the subjects turn techno-geeky, but hey. it's still entertaining, even if i'm not as much of a know-it-all as i used to be...
