Why?
Because they're warm. Hot, actually. You can tell it's hot because the camera fogged up as soon as we took it outside.
The gift of an old apartment just keeps on giving. On the plus side our landlord replaced all of our old windows with really new, nice ones. On the other hand, we really need them to hold in heat because OUR FURNACE IS NOW BROKEN. And probably will be for several days. Our landlord's solution? We can move upstairs to the empty apartment. While I think that's a nice offer, it's a huge pain, and we're going to try to stick it out here for a few days to see if he can get this one fixed.
So, I'm particularly thankful today for:
- hot showers and blowdryers
- blankets
- hot coffee (and how fast hot coffee becomes drinkable in a 50 degree apartment)
- the people who live below us whose heat rises and helps us out a little bit
- knowing we have good friends and family members nearby we could stay with in a pinch
- trains to Indiana, my parents' house in La Porte, and no classes Wednesdays
Although I hated to leave earlier than expected, one perk of Fort Wayne is being able to feel my toes again. Hey, piggly wigglies! I remember you!
