hot water

wow, i just typed that title, and laughed! this totally covers my entire day!

shaun and i were cleaning out my father-in-laws shop. well, starting to clean it out. it's going to take a LOT more work. taylor comes over and tells us that the intermountain gas guy is at the house. shaun and i came home and discovered that our gas was being shut off for non-payment. we knew this was coming, but didn't get our 24-hour notice that we were expecting. apparently, they send stuff in the mail, make a phone call, and that's enough. i don't answer 800 numbers!

as my water heater is gas, we no longer have hot water. not a big deal. we can boil water on the stove, and dump it in the tub or sink or wherever else we need it.

this evening after dinner, i decided that ashley needed another bath. she was FILTHY! so, i put some water in a  pot on the stove to boil. i went to pull it off and dump it in the tub. i picked the pot up and discovered that one of the handles was HOT! so, i tried to put it back on the stove and i sloshed over the side all over my hand! i ran to the sink and turned on the water (cause i only have cold water now, right!), and shaun came running in from the office and grabbed the melaleuca oil. we covered my hand in melaleuca oil, and then put the ice pack on it cause it still stung.

my fingers are no longer red, i have 2 little spots that are still "burning," but other than that, you can't even tell i dumped the hot water on my hand!!!!
