We got our hot water back last night. We would have had it Monday night, but the water heater was wired wrong and the plumber didn't want a thing to do with that. Can't say I blame him.
Lucky for us, one of our friends is an electrician. Though he couldn't make it Monday night because of car problems, he said he'd be here on Tuesday. As promised, he left work and came straight to our place last night. In less than 30 minutes, we had hot water again! Not to mention a properly wired hot water heater. And this is just the thing about our little community: he wouldn't let us pay him for his work. The water heater and install were a bit spendy, but the wiring cost us a beer.
Believe it or not, we were both too wiped out to take a hot shower last night. This morning I'm looking forward to my first hot shower since Saturday and to not washing dishes by hand in boiled water tonight. It seems like a small thing and it is, but we're reminded that many people are without shelter, power, water and food and many lack the resources to obtain any of those things. We are grateful for the tiniest comforts these days.
