closer to november than october
but what does that mean after a gloriously sunny weekend? Snow! Yes, I didn't dare breathe the word, but it was snowing today and I was n.o.t. p.r.e.p.a.r.e.d. I mean, really... who would have thought? With winds up to 60km/hr, it was bitterly unpleasant. No! It can't be!! I have to pull out my winter coat tomorrow. *sigh*
water, water, everywhere but here
So it's not like it's bad enough having to camp at the cottage but this morning there was no water in my apartment. I thought it was perhaps because they turned off the water earlier than usual - they said there was going to be general maintenance today from 9am-2pm. I woke up this morning and turned on the tap to find air. I called down to the concierge and was told that the main water pipe burst on the P3 level and that it was a mess and they were working on it, that it would take a really long time. If only they had started the maintenance one day earlier!
Unlike at the cottage, it's not like I could just pop out and scoop some water from the lake. Luckily though, there is a hotel right across the street so I zipped over to use the washroom, wash my face, brush my teeth, and fill up a water bottle for spare water. Thank goodness I've got a breakfast meeting so I don't even have to deal with that. More reason to do everything you need to when you can (i.e. showering, packing lunch etc.) When I came home, I heard the concierge desk phone ringing with another person asking about the water. The things we take for granted...
