Last night wasn't the coldest night I have experienced up here in the True North but it was cold enough to cause my pipes to freeze up, leaving me without hot water to shower, wash clothes, dishes or even wash my hands.
I'm going to have to shower at my gym tomorrow before work. I managed to get by today but tomorrow's a full and sweaty one. Right now, you really don't want to be next to me in bed. The water is so cold that I have put off peeing until the very last second because washing my hands means spending 20 minutes thawing them out by the heater.
If the pipes don't thaw out with the heater, their gonna have to open up the wall and use a heated pipe-snake to melth the ice. Last week, we lost power for an hour while the hydro company did line work on our street. The apartment temperature dropped 10 degrees in less than an hour. That tells me that our insulation is crap. Our poor insulation is probably why the pipes froze.
To add insult to injury, the zipper on my bubble jacket broke and I was outside carrying groceries home, so my hands were tied up. From now on, I will only by clothes with YKK zippers.
I'm definitely moving when my lease is up. I am not going to spend another winter up here freezing and showering in cold water.
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
