So It Snowed

and we were snowed in. This would have been pretty cool-we had munchies, it was on the weekend so Polo was snowed in with us instead of out working. But the pipes had to freeze up again for the second time this week. This time when they thawed out, our hot water stopped working. Our pipes would do just fine and not freeze if one our kids would stop turning the trickle of water off in our bathroom. So the Agway/Suburban Propane guy is coming to check on the hot water heater and we shall see what happens.
Update: There is a valve on the hot water heater that registers water pressure going through the heater to turn the heater on. It froze and broke, so the Agway guy is ordering a new one and will replace it. I am not sure exactly when that will happen, so more heating water on the stove for baths until…
We were stuck in the house without hot water and on Thursday Polo did something to his ankle. I think it is just a sprain but it is still swollen and purple and he cannot walk very well. Luckily I was finally able to get him to go get his x-rays the doctor told him to get on Friday. So he is doing that now and we shall see what happens.
Update: Polo’s x-rays show no fracture, Deo Gratias, just a nasty sprain.
We were snowed in this weekend without hot water, with Polo with a bummed ankle and the kitten who broke into our house and stayed, Melody is in heat. We did fully intend to get her and Legolas fixed, but we had a baby and Christmas happened and getting their shots was pricey. We thought we had just a bit more time. Well, we didn’t. We are alternating keeping either Melody or Legolas in the pet carrier to keep them apart. Even though we live in the country and I hope to get a goat and some chickens, I am still new to this animal stuff. My only other pet, Chun Li was fixed right away, so I never experienced this cat-in-heat stuff and I am amazed how retarded she is acting. So Legolas is off to the vet tonight to get fixed so we do not have to keep them caged up and we shall see what happens.
Tonight is also Rosey Posey’s Hillary Duff concert. Must husband lost won the rock, paper, scissors contest and gets to take her. Rosey Posey is running around pulling out clothes and nail polish and acting like a tween-age girl. So we shall see how she likes her first concert.
Update: Rosey Posey and Polo came back at 10.30 last night. I was watching reruns of Buffy Season 6 waiting for them. She was very excited and had a great time. Polo said there was lots and lots of screaming little girls and their parents.
