What a horrible time for heat and hot water to go out. You and I have the same type of luck. If it was to go out on me, it would be during the coldest time of year as well. Knock on wood it hasn't so far.
On top of that your shower, wow! You need to find a good handyman and put him on retainer, LOL.
...and an Internet outage to boot? Okay, bring on February because January has done kicked your ass.
Good for you though maintaining such a positive outlook and it shows in these beautiful flowers.
