lensmanWell lets start off with Friday night Sat morning....
A and I lost the heat to our apt. (This is the brand new gas boiler that the landlords just had installed) It was cold getting out of the showers....
Turns out that the landlords had mis heard the plumber who installed this and it NOT an automatic fill on the boiler. Ok so at least they have a good rappore with him and he came right out and showed us how to fill the ting.
I drop A off at work and go to my game (hmmm It's starting to drag a little, but I guess thats what happens after 14 years)
I grab a quick bite with the guys and then go get A from work to head to the Shaghaus party.
She wants to go home and shower (ok no big deal we'll be a little late but we'll make it)
We get home and the ok what should I wear question arises. Ok it's a costume party, but when I had checked the web-cam an hour ago it didn't appear that most of the prople were wearing costumes, so I offer that bit of info and it just seems to make the matter worse. As she wants something warm to wear but wants to look nice, and she doesn't think she has anything warm that she looks nice in. I can rattle off three different sweaters that I think she looks good in, but it's no use. I'm male and just don't understand this need woman have to think they don't look good. (I think A could tell I was getting a little frustrated at this point) :-)
It's at this point when A notices that shes having a reaction to one of the skin creams she got from work, and she can't find her anti-itch cream, and why don't I know where it is (Why should I know where it is, I didn't even know she had any, and all those creams and tubes look alike to me anyhow) Ok we tear the house apart looking for this I offer to run to the store and grab a new one, but she sure it must be here. More searching, Finnaly she says well maybe they have some at the corner store. (Ok, something I can DO to try to fix the problem.) :-) Of course they don't have any at the store, so I try the next place that I'm sure will. Hehey it does I can return triumphant from he hunt. :-)
I get back and hand off the cream and A points out that its a bit chilly in the house. Ok I check up no heat again. Ok I go check the boiler. No luck. It's full but the power won't kick on. Great get the landlord again. He looks at it, and all he can do is call the plumber again.
We, finally, leave for Shaghaus. A thinks I'm upset with her. (I'm not the world was just being a bit frustrating at the moment)
It was good to see people. The cakes tasted yummy. I started in on the mead I brought, but game myself a bit of an upset stomache from being stressed. Of course by the time we got there more poeple appeared to be in costume than the webcams showed. A alergies kicked in pretty hard so we didn't stay more than a couple of hours.
Got home to find out the power in our apt had reset. (appeaerntly right at midnight.) :-) well at least a little luck.
Next morning I find out fromthe landlady that they had the plumber by and he looked at the boiler. It had blown its transformer, and they won't be able t get the part until monday.
Well A had made some plans to go off to NH. We spent the day visiting my parents then going for lunch and a movie. We saw "Monkey Bone" It looks good, Now if they could have just given it a plot. (Ok who really needs a plot to see Rose McGowen in the cat outfits with so much cleavage)
Drove A half way to NH and had dinner with her friend and I headed home. I was in the mood to hear B's voice, so I called her, and ended up going over. We watched the end of Zoro.
B game me a wonderful backrub.

Hang in there :)

Date: 2001-02-26 11:29 am (UTC)The landlords are doing what they can, so I have no problem with them or the rent. It's just murphy's law that this would happen durring the cold weather.
It's not the same problem, but a chain of them, all related to the apt heat, and they are taking care of it as fast of the new problems come up. But it made poor A and I snap at each other over stupid minor things.

Men just don't get it that we need TIME pretending to play with all those creams, etc. just to get in the mood to be alluring, sociable, gracious, witty, etc. etc. that we expect ourselves to be at parties. Doesn't matter if in reality we already are alluring, etc., we need to believe it and feel it inside ourselves before we can set foot out that door and face our public. I'm lending you that massager, 'coz odds are A needs one more than you did! lol!
