Once again, several weeks have passed without a blog post from me. I apologize, but work has been intense and we've had some busy weekends! Oh...and add in a trip to Aruba!
Mark and I were looking forward to the weekend since we had dinner plans with friends, a charity event, and an Orioles game.
I started the weekend off with motivation - to hit the gym. After a long and arduous workout, I came home hoping for a hot bath. It was rainy and freezing out - perfect weather for a hot bath!
At this point, I'll point out that we lost power earlier that morning (5 AM) and it was out for a few hours. Hmmm where is this going? Mark used almost all of the hot water for his shower and the dishes. When I started my bath, there was hot water, but as I let it run, it changed over to cold. This resulted in a lukewarm bath - not good. What did I resort to? Boiling pots of water. Desperate? Perhaps, but I had to get clean somehow after my workout and I had to get ready for our night out.
Six pots of hot water and an hour later, I was set. Sometimes one takes for granted the basic necessities...things like electricity and functioning hot water heaters. Apparently, when the power goes out, it takes forever for the hot water heater to re-heat all of the water in the tank. Lesson learned.
