A Wee Change of Plans
Oct. 19th, 2003 01:52 pmInstead of going to Asheville today, I will be gracing Lowes with my greasy-headed presence in approximately 30 minutes so that I can purchase a new water heater.
Alas, I cannot complain. The water heater we had lasted all of 23 years and I knew it was going to poop out at any minute. To be honest, I've been on an eager death watch, sitting vigil with the contraption for ever the longest, because it gives about 10 minutes of really decently hot shower water in the Winter and I can't hardly bear going through another Winter like that. Hell, it takes 10 minutes just to wash my hair (which is almost down to my hips now).
On the other hand, I really can't afford to get a new water heater at this moment, or any other moment in the foreseeable future. So, it's credit card time. It's either that or go to work with long, stringy, greasy hair, dirty clothes, and BO from the inner ring of Dante's Inferno. Maybe they'd give me a raise if I promised to clean up my act. It might be worth a try.....nah!
Wheee!
Next week, we're going to Asheville. I don't care what I have to do, but it's going to happen.
