Oh to have a hot shower...

So, let me tell you about my shower experiences thus far. Oh wait...there have been no such things. Our house has had some plumbing delays... simply, little pressure and no hot water from the showers. So...each morning I awake at 5:40 to fill a bucket with water from the outside tap (which for some reason has surprisingly strong pressure), boil some water on the gas stove, and have what could be called a semi-cold bucket shower while sitting in the tub. It is one experience that has daily made me appreciate the luxuries of Canada... ;) But, praise be to God, because the plumber came today (again) and hopefully we will see some positive results very soon!
