I woke up this morning to discover that a) I had no hot water, and b) my internet wasn't working. (Also c) it was snowing - DAMMIT - but that was kind of peripheral.)
I don't know if you can understand what a quandary this placed me in. No hot water = no shower = I probably shouldn't go out in public, as a matter of courtesy. But, no internet = WHAT THE HELL AM I GOING TO DO IF I CAN'T LEAVE THE APARTMENT???
So I made myself a latte, brushed my hair, and tried to convince myself that I looked fine, just FINE, and I was the only person who could see the grease coating my hair.
I also engaged in the time-honoured ritual of fixing-the-technology-when-you-don't-really-know-what-the-hell-you're-doing: I turned my computer off and on, and my router off and on.
And lo! The mystical powers of the ritual have succeeded again! I am CONNECTED! Hallelujah!
(Also, my hot water appears to be back on, but why would I want to leave the apartment and go out in that crappy snow when I have you, beautiful internet?)

Wow. I am so not jealous of you right now. I will take my mildly sunburnt cheeks over snow.
