It is January and I am suffering from the January blues. I have gone from having a bad hair day to having a bad hair month. The heating has not worked for two weeks and I walk around in the house dressed like a Michelin man wondering what I have done to deserve this. This morning the heating guys arrived and after an hour they told me that this was a little bit complicated. Complicated – what does that mean? Probably more money but I pretended not to get that message. Yesterday I received the highest energy bill I have ever seen which felt a bit ironic, as we have no heating. Well, the bill was for November and December and the heating did not give up until January so I guess I have no option but paying. With minus 10 outside, and two young guys in the basement working at something “complicated” I have decided to be nice. I want heat and having a fit about the complications does not seem to serve my purpose so I am nice. (but if I have no heating before the weekend I’ll go mad!)
This morning (after dealing with the complications in the basement) I brought the girls to the ski slope. They have an outdoor sports day at school. We were a bit late and I needed to get to work on time but naturally we run into new complications. The lock on the ski box had frozen and did not want to open. Blowing warm air in the lock led nowhere but luckily I found a smoker who lent me her lighter and after ten minutes and no feeling in my fingers anymore I was able to open the box and get the skis out. I arrived late at work, without having had any breakfast and had a shock when I saw myself in the mirror. Seriously bad hair day and black rings underneath my eyes. It is January and life is great!
