It's been one of those weeks for sure. It was late yesterday afternoon when they finally showed up to put the water heater in. It took a while and once they got it done they told me I should have hot water in 30 minutes. So we decided that we would get some food and do a quick run by to the mattress place as we needed a new one. So we went and bought a mattress and should have it delivered some time this week. After we ate and got back home I checked the water and it was cold. I called the guy and told him it was not working and he came back. He was there till after 10pm. I still don't have hot water. Wish me luck on getting this fixed soon.

I am not thrilled with the whole wash pan bath deal that I have had to do for the last couple of days. I grew up with it because we were poor and didn't have hot water in the house, or a bathroom for that matter. I just don't feel clean unless I get a shower because I hate the soap residue feeling from just washing off like that. TOM will be coming along any day now and I really really need the hot water fixed. You just don't realize how much you miss it till you don't have it. Things like washing dishes and clothes. I can do the clothes I wash in cold water but towels and bed linens I always do in hot so that it kills germs and stuff. I could throw some bleach in the towels and it would work but I don't bleach my bed linens....I think it causes them to tear up faster and I hate the way it smells. Plus with my dry skin I like my linens done with gentle products.

On the health front I did order a new piece of exercise equipment it is a bosu balance trainer. I am hoping it helps a lot to strengthen my core muscles and help my back. I have been wanting to try one for over a year and I finally bit the bullet and ordered one. I'll let you know how it goes once it arrives. I am hoping I can balance on it and not break my neck. LOL

Also I should be able to get some walking in as its going to be warming up again. It will be in the 50s today and tomorrow but the rest of the week promises 60s. Hopefully by them I will have hot water and not mind getting a little sweaty.
