in hot water

A while ago my water heater started leaking. I put off fixing it due to lack of funds, but then I realized it might be covered by my home warranty. I called the warranty company, they scheduled a plumber, and he came yesterday. The good news--it really is the water heater that's leaking and it's covered by my warranty. Yay! I had to pay the service fee and will probably have to pay for the permit and I think that'll be it, as long as I can wrestle the old heater out to the curb for heavy trash pickup.

Short story long, I haven't had hot water all week. Those of you who live in Houston will recognize that as no problem because the cold water is pretty warm this time of year. Nevertheless, when taking a shower the water not exactly the temperature I'd choose. I gave up my shower rights at the good ex's place in exchange for a mental health break from him and have been toughing out the shower sitch at home, but I'm hoping the end is in sight.
