I hate plumbing

Posted by Clifford under Housing

Pulling into my parking space, the new shiny water heater was clearly visible.

Jumping up and down, I cried “Glorious day!” to the House Gods.

Hot water = Hot Shower

Yes, no more prison-style showers for yours truly.  Now my new, elevated shower head can rain down on my head.  My days of doing the limbo are finished!

I ran into the house, threw down my bags.  Ran to the sink, cranked the hot water knob.  The exhilaration boiled over in me until I could feel it ooozing out of my eyes in the form of tears.  Pure Happiness!

What?  No pressure?!?!?!

Panic.  Merde.  Maybe the water is shut off to the house?  I cranked on the cold water.

GUSH

Hot water once again.

Fell to my knees, eyes towards heaven.  It was an Al Bundy moment

What a surprise.

Thank you.

Not even this huh.
What is it?
Is Oprah right?  Are you a big fat woman?

All I wanted was a hot shower, a stinking hot shower!  I will even settle for a strong trickle!

Just this once, can you show that you can love even Cliff?
