It's amazing to learn how much I took having hot running water for granted.
Sometime on Tuesday, the hot water heater stopped working. I tried restarting it (I am a computer guy after all) but it didn't help. Called for a plumber and through some schedule and parts issues, the house has been without hot water for almost 4 days. Boiling water for some things, and just sucking it up with cold water for others. Dishes stacked up and so did some of the laundry. Shaving's been pretty awful too when I didn't have the patience to microwave more water.
The problem ended up being the igniter in the water heater (it's natural gas powered). It got fixed this morning finally. I had a great time washing my hands in wonderful, glorious hot water a few minutes ago. I'm going to try not to take hot running water for granted again, too.
