Well I know what you will be doing, staying home, and staying warm one way or another. It is always something. We have some things like that that need to be done, and I have been dragging my feet. Mabe today I will make some calls.

One good thing about the boiler not working, I get to put on my living flame fire. We dont use it that often because of the amount of gas it uses, but it is so cosy with it on.

I am happy that you have fireplace to fall back on. There is always something to help us when things go wrong. I am rooting for you.

Well we know know what is wrong with the boiler, the circuit board has blown.

Hubby is now stressing at how much it will cost to fix it. Oh well better then freezing to death and having no hot water. The price is minimal compared to what it would be for a new boiler.

It will be fixed by this time tomorrow.

(((Amethist))) It is amazing the things that can go wrong. I hope you guys are keeping warm. I am sad that you do not have any hot water. This must make doing the dishes hard. I am glad it is going to get fixed.

We lost our power for a week and that was awful. Luckily we were on propane and had a regular hot water heater. We had a wood stove and we could use the top of our stove. if we lit a match. We had to use kerosene lamps at night, and listened to a radio with bad reception.

It was hard going through it. I do not take electricity for granted anymore. We really need our utilities.

Thinking of you as you go through this experience. Big hugs.

Just need hubby to do the basics for himself now, as I have noticed he is slacking more than he should be.

Time to kick butt.

Its not guna be pretty for a few days, and there could be temper tantrums at bed time.

Not lost my sense of humour, but it is wearing thin now.

Well this has been going on for a long time now. You have been so wonderful and held it together but you are also human and have your limits.

He bears responsibility . He has to step up to the plate and work on himself. I know you can do this. You are very good at what you do. Make sure you treat yourself super good now. Get out of there and take a breather. Big hugs.

Heating and hot water back on now, so hopefully as the heat goes up, the stress levels will come down.

He is in the bath soaking with essential oils right now, which usually helps his mind settle back down.

I am so happy for you. crises over. You did good. Pat yourself on your back. Big hugs.

Since all this started we upped hubby's medication to double what it was. Now he has settled better on a quarter less than the double dose. He is not too dopey and mind is not racing, so seems like we got it right.

We will have to see what the Dr says on Friday now, but she usually agrees with what we do.
