Speechless

I can't even formulate a real paragraph to explain the situation here.  It's....unreal.  We finally complained to the right person, and got a team of repair people to visit yesterday.  The hot water heaters in the attic were repaired (they say) and the leaking water pump outside was fixed as well (they say).  Two electricians (one of them is the one who previously told me there was nothing wrong) spent a couple hours in the kitchen, trying to find out the problem that's causing the breaker to trip repeatedly.  Around 5 pm, they decided that every major appliance in the kitchen is causing the problem.  The stove, the dishwasher, and the refrigerator need to be replaced.  Now....I'm no electrician, but doesn't it seem rather odd that 3 separate appliances are simultaneously causing power outages?

So now it's 2pm, and supposedly these appliances are on their way to my house.  We have not used any of the kitchen appliances in the meantime, and yet our breaker is tripping approximately every 30 seconds.

And the water?  It's hot again, but there's still hardly any water pressure.  Luckily for us, the drinking water delivery guys must have heard about our situation.  Instead of delivering the usual 3-4 jugs of drinking water, they stacked TEN jugs on my front step!  This place will be such a source of funny stories someday.  Until then, we will just keep on smiling.



Because we have each other.  And, as cheesy at it sounds, that's all we need.
