The last two weeks, it has been one thing after another…on the fritz!<\/p>\n

Yesterday, Monday, started with no hot water. I checked the breakers and the water heater’s breaker was broke…there had been thunderstorms…I reset the breaker, heard the water heater fire up – yea!<\/p>\n

But, then…the water, it was scalding hot. It hadn’t been scalding hot prior…blech. A call to the plumber, a discussion…he will be here tomorrow…<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Meantime, I usually have VERY hot, as in TOO HOT!, water. Occasionally I have to reset the water heater’s reset but the breaker is holding.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The good – well, kind of good – news is that as I pulled things out of the closet where the water heater lives, in preparation for the visitation from the plumber…I discovered that water was rising from the crawl space …just a wee bit of water, but enough to necessitate a massive closet cleanup.<\/p>\n

…that explains all the mice in the house of late…kind of good news #2 = the explanation being the “good” news.<\/p>\n

Work went on the fritz as well. I spent most of the day with the rest of the team chasing an elusive bug. Shortly after 6:00 p.m. we had a conversation along the line of “what we should have done at the beginning was…” – yep, it was that kind of day.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Despite an inclination to abstain from wine this work week…I didn’t. <\/p>\n

I poured.<\/p>\n

I sat.<\/p>\n

I looked on the scene.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

So…some things fritzed. But…my dog is happy, the grass is green, the air is crisp and clear. Not everything is on the fritz.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
