(Blurry blackberry picture taken on my walk from the hill back to work- to be further discussed below- but check out the bottom left- the first signs of the cherry blossoms! Woot!)What a week. As most of you know (most of you is two people, as I only have 3 readers to date, but not complaining because you are all fabulous and totally get it), I have been without a hot water heater for nearly two weeks. I've been showering at the gym and otherwise inconvenienced beyond my wildest dreams, as Juan the contractor and his nephew, who is apparently a "whiz at dry wall" (to quote a man who barely speaks English) have transformed my 600 square feet into a highway of ingress and egress. Folks, I don't come home from a day of lawyering for the Secretary of Energy and long to change into my weeknight casualwear to make the deals happen with a pair of rogue contractors.
All of this finally ended 30 minutes ago as Juan put the finishing touches on the job. He really is a God send, despite my complaints. He and his nephew replaced my hot water heater, disposed of my old one, having to knock down and replace part of a wall to do so. I came home from a fundraiser last night to find everything fixed and grand- until I realized my bathroom was completely flooded. %&(*!%$&@^! Dealing with all of this (1) alone; and (2) with 5 floors of fellow condo owners below me is NOT a holiday y'all. It cost me a fricking fortune and let's just say that all of the cash I spared by not drinking any champagne during Lent (and then some...a LOT of some) has all literally been flushed down the toilet.
Anywho, Juan fixed everything today and now I am up and running, just in time for my mang to arrive for a surprise birthday getaway weekend which will start in the AM.
And after all of that yapping I will revisit my capitol hill story at another time and leave you titillated all weekend. Happy Friday y'all! xo
