Back to nature

There are a few inventions in the last couple centuries that I can live without.  We don't have a microwave.  That's fine. No dishwasher.  No problem.  No Cable TV.. that's fine too.

But there are a few things that make this world a better place and a few of them I find imperative to daily life.  Hot running water is one thing I'm terribly grateful for.  Forced air heat is another thing I'm very happy to have.  But these things I could manage without for a short time.  Maybe not happily but I COULD manage.

As of last night our little house on the ditch has had a "technical" problem that requires a professional to repair.  The impossible inconvenience of this problem has made certain aspects of my daily life challenging - to say the least.  I am disgruntled.  

The temperature is hovering around freezing.  My options are limited.  This is not working for me.  Peter thinks it's funny.  But then the inconvenience to him is not as great.

Hopefully the repairman will be able to make an appearance this morning - even though it's Sunday.  Otherwise I might have to move into a motel or go stay with the freighbor...
