miserable in mo

it is snowing out. only 11 degrees. and my apartment has no heat. the radiators stopped working. i feel like i talked badly. and complained about them too much. their feelings have been hurt.

i got home late last night after enjoying some adult beverages (which has caused a splitting headache this morning). and noticed my apartment was just as cold as the outside. i touched the radiators. ice cold. the neighbor and i conversed in the hallway. she dialed up judy. left a message.

luckily. judy provided a giant space heater. she said we could use it on a cold night in october. or sometime before they turn on the heat in the building. or in this case. in the dead of winter. on one of the coldest days of the year. when the heat goes out. but i am thankful i had that. it kept my room warm. eh. warmer. during the night. i huddled under my covers. and slept like a baby.

this morning. was awful. i noticed it had snowed. and was still snowing. ugh. i would go to a new room to get something. to get ready for work. and felt like an icicle. so i was like a squirrel. scavaging for the needed items. and go back to standing in front of the heater. or roll the heater around with me. there was no way i was showering. i know gross. but this helps with trying to only wash my hair every other day.

i called the judster this morning. no answer. i left a message reporting the problem. it better be fixed today. i dont think i can survive another night.

Here, here! I know the feeling. Our radiators are working right now, and it's still 64 degrees inside (better than 30 but still not so good). The house is too big for them to keep up, and the heat efficiency is 0!
