No hot water? No problem!

(sorry...more old posts to come at some point; I just got internet at home)

Showering in cold water, one of the many skills I acquired in Russia, was one I did not expect to put to use so soon. But, thanks to some cruel twist of fate, I came back from a run on a rather cold night (weather.com tells me it feels like 45ºF — too cold for shorts) only to discover that our hot water isn't working. I'm still unclear as to whether this is a result of the workmen installing solar panels on our roof, running the laundry on "warm", or just God punishing me...in any case, I am now hypothermic.
