Murphy moved into my house as they say here.On a Saturday of course.I Have been having computer server problems past few days...bundled service off and on which loses the land phone too.I've taken it in stride knowing Tues. I will get a service call.Yesterday was a progressively warm day and I did lots of house work and some cooking so I really didnt notice the warmth in the house till evening. Then it dawned on me the central air wasn't working.After eating I loaded the dishwasher and noticed standing water! So...hand washing it was with....warm water? Well....the water heater is far from the kitchen.....under the house.....Long story short I had a cold shower...no hot water and a hot fitful nights sleep. My plan for today? Checking into a one of the best hotels in town and having dinner out!

Envious sounds like the gremlins are messing with your electrics! Hope it gets sorted but not too soon so you can enjoy a bit of being waited upon at the Hotel!
