i’d kind of like to be there at the inauguration. but kind of not. if i was there in the huge crowd on the mall, it would be cold and crowded and i’d see the whole thing on the giant tv screens, instead of here on my own giant tv.<\/p>\n
it would be exhilarating, i’m sure. but i’m content to watch it here. <\/p>\n
it’s been a kind of tumultuous week here. on thursday, a pipe was frozen. kevin spent a lot of time trying to figure out the route of the frozen pipe, and put heaters around and tried using a blow torch to warm a pipe in the basement. but when we finally went to bed, it was still frozen.<\/p>\n
friday morning i got up and tried to brush my teeth and there was no water. kevin said it was because he had to turn off all the water in the house because a pipe had burst. when he woke up it was raining in our kitchen. water pouring out of the light over the sink, more water pouring out of the light near the stove. <\/p>\n
kevin saw all of this when he got up. he didn’t even wake me up, he just ran around and shut off the water and mopped up the mess. by the time i got up it was all dry.<\/p>\n
if i’d been the first person to wake up (it has happened at least once since we’ve been married), i would have screamed when i saw it raining in the kitchen.<\/p>\n
everything was very dour for a while; i went over to amy’s to get some coffee for kevin and told her that he’d said the plumber might have to rip out our ceiling or a wall in order to find where the leak came from and i was pretty sure it was going to cost a small fortune and things were bad, very very bad. amy said “maybe things won’t be so bad,” but i was very sure that she was wrong wrong wrong.<\/p>\n
kevin called a plumber who arrived within a couple of hours and by some miracle the guy knew just where the burst pipe was, and fixed it, and didn’t charge us very much at all. <\/p>\n
the day ended much better than it started. amy was right. <\/p>\n
ok, i have to focus on the inauguration right now. <\/p>\n
historical day grace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
