Then we head downstairs to my mess of a shower. Franco, or Electrical Ace as I like to call him was here on Tuesday to put hot water in my shower. Since he was here already it only made sense for him to put hot water in my bath tub too. And since I have an innate ability of getting what I want, he did. Whoo-hoo! So now I have hot water in my bath tub, and in my bathroom sink! Hallelujah! But not in my shower, where it was supposed to be in the first place.
So Lina followed me in the bathroom and she stood there with her hand under the water for 10 minutes before she believed that there was not going to be any hot water coming out. She walked over and turned off the lights, then the water became hot.
Lina: "Oh you see.. you just have to flip this switch and the water becomes hot."
Me: "The light switch? The light switch makes the water hot?"
Lina: "Yes"
Me: "But you turned the switch off...." (I'm not enthused...)
Lina: "Yes, must be off."
Me: "So... you're telling me that the lights have to be off in the bathroom in order to take a shower."
Lina: "No there are lights."
Me: "Really? Where?"
Lina: "Oh...yes. No lights."
Me: "Lee gets up before 5, it's still dark then.. you expect him to take a shower in the dark so he can have hot water? Really...?"
She turns back on the lights, and goes over to the hot water box... it is still working... Even with the lights on, imagine that.
Lina: "Oh!! It works now!! No problem. Lights on!"
Me: "Great...."
So who knows if it will come on next time when we need to take a shower. Maybe I'll just go flicker the lights and hope it miraculously comes on. It will just be our daily surprise.... hot or cold... I don't know we will find out.
