I feel like sharing with you my past week regarding my showering.
Monday evening - 9PM: No hot water. We weren't very worried here at home because the water heater sometimes decides to deprive us of this warm treat.
Tuesday morning - 6:30AM: Still no hot water. My mom woke me up at this hour informing me that the water heater didn't pull a stunt on us, it really had stopped working. No more, kaput, finito. She had to heat up tons of water, pour it into the bathtub and both of us had to take a bath almost like a cat. I'd try to lean my head backwards just so I could get water on my hair to rinse the shampoo off. It wasn't pretty.
That same day a wise man in this particular field came over and said we had to ship in a specific part of the water heater because it was out of stock. It would take one more week to get here, so we decided to get a new one. After going to several places looking for the appropriate water heater, we finally found it and it was quickly installed yesterday.
So, finally, after almost one week of cat-like bathing, burning my left hand in scalding water, half of my body freezing and the other half in warm water, reaching a point where the turned cold, yesterday was a treat. A nice, warm and relaxing shower waited for me. I got off the shower, my arms red and steamy, and the whole week and the cold water behind me.
How long have you been with no hot water? Or are you a lucky person and no such thing has ever happened to you?
