Today isn't going so well so far.

I went to bed last night with a list of things to do this morning before I ran off to State for Yoga and other class. I got up this morning a little later than planned [the doorbell woke me up, but I didn't check to see who is was - it's usually for the apartment downstairs...], hopped in the shower, and just after sudsing my head with shampoo, suddenly the water stopped. The water stopped, and didn't come back on.

I dried myself off, my head still covered in shampoo, threw on some basic clothes, and braced myself for an argument with our landlord. I looked out the front window and saw that some guy was doing something in a small hole in the street in front of our building. I marched down the stairs [my hair still slathered with shampoo] and approached a woman in an orange vest that was clearly a co-worker of the guy with his head in the street. "Um, are you responsible for my not having any water right now?" I demanded. The woman said that she was. "Well, you could've given us some advance warning. I'm sure that you are probably legally obligated to give us 24 hours notice before shutting off our water - I know that that is what landlords are supposed to do." The guy with his head in the street looked up and said, "Well, I rang all of the doorbells." "Well, like I just said, giving us half an hour notice isn't really good enough." And do you know what the woman said? Do you know what she had the nerve to say?? "Well, ringing your doorbell was a courtesy." NO, ringing my doorbell isn't a COURTESY! It's what you are OBLIGATED to do because you are screwing with my WATER!!

So, I had to sit around our apartment [although, it gave me time to do one of the other things on my list] with shampoo probably PERMANTLY SCALDING my hair before the water came back on - and, even then, it was browny-yellowy and all icky. And, I had to condition my hair TWICE because leaving the shampoo in for so long turned my hair into straw. Stupid hole-in-the-street water people!

This setback meant that I didn't have time to VOTE this morning, and I'm not sure that I'll have time later this evening.

I rush off to school - to Yoga - only to find out that Yoga has been CANCELLED because the basement where our class is was flooded and all of the mats were waterlogged. So, now I've got to sit around down here at school for 4 hours until my next class starts. This sucks.

[I know that I still haven't posted about the last couple of days of my Solo Week [back in December]. I'm working on it. Plus, I'll have to do some other kind of "quick catch up" post to let you know what's been going on these past couple of months... But, not right now. Right now I'm very hungry...
