i've been in exile from venice for the past few days, as my house was being fumigated. yes, the tent and everything. i got back in yesterday, tested the gas (which seemed to work), and commenced unpacking. it wasn't until i got in the shower that i realized something was off. it was lukewarm. oh well, i figured. maybe the water heater takes a bit to warm up. then i checked some clothes in the dryer. still wet. hmmmmm. i went downstairs to check the stove. no dice. cold showers and wet clothes it is, then.
this also threw a wrench in my dinner plans - no oven, no stove. necessity can be the mother of invention, though, and we patched together a toaster oven supper of croque monsieurs, salad, and roasted peaches with brown sugar and basil, paired with port. yum.
lemons into lemonade, and all that.

Whoa... sounds kind of horrible. Are the bugs gone??? Sounds like a good meal at least.
Always look on the bright side of life.
the bugs, thank god, are gone. although they didn't really bother me that much (you don't really see termites).
the gas, however, is still off, because the gas company and everyone related to them suck.
i'm dying for a hot shower....
