Moot Thoughts & Musings

Yesterday the hot water heater broke and the water had to be turned off. With uncertain predictions of the time frame in which it would be fixed, I decided to escape the madness. (Besides, I didn't get a shower, and that makes me super grumpy. *alas*) Ellis and I bundled up into the car and made our down the turnpike in the rain to Lancaster.

It's cold and soggy, but we found warmth and respite there. We sat in front of my parents' cozy fireplace on comfy couches, people reading books and making light chit-chat, eating warm gingersnaps right out of the oven, letting the rain fall outside in the dark.

It was so cozy that Ellis slept incredibly well. Probably better than ever. He usually falls asleep in the early evening, but then wakes up and fusses for a couple of hours until 11 or midnight before falling asleep for the night. Except for stirring briefly a couple of times, Ellis slept from early evening until about 9.30 in the morning. Go baby!

But we missed daddy and the water is working again, so we trekked back along the water-logged turnpike and came home.
