Life just keeps getting more and more interesting.

We have no hot water - actually, there's been no hot water in my bathroom for two days, in the kitchen for three days, and today, nowhere in the house. We do have cold water, which some people don't. It's still cold, with a high predicted today of 27. Plus it snowed about 7" on us last night.

Actually, the snow is good. Sorta. The horses can eat the snow for moisture more easily than licking ice, and the walk to the barn has gone from dangerous to hardly even difficult, with that thick padding over the hard-as-rock frozen mud lumps. However, when it melts, the horses and I will be slogging through some pretty miserable mud.

High of 44 tomorrow. Maybe the pipes will thaw and I can get a bath. Last night I had to heat water in the microwave just to get my face washed and my teeth brushed (can't use the water right out of the tap to rinse your mouth - the water's cold enough to crack enamel!).

I've missed four days of work this week. Gak.
