Moody bitch in Stuff

Our hot water system keeps fucking up and the only way to fix it is to give it a “reboot” by switching off the mains power via the fuse-box in our laundry. It’s bloody annoying because it resets all the electronic clocks in the house, which I then have to reset, but there’s not much point because this has been happening more and more often lately, and no hot water is just what I want in the dead of Winter when I’m trying to have a shower to warm myself up, so I found out this morning.

the first attempt was shittiest. I was barely in there for 2 minutes before it decided to stop working, and since I didn’t want my balls shriveling up under ice-cold water, I had to dry off and put my clothes back on. I had some breakfast and reset the power and afterwards had a second attempt at a shower. This was much better and I mostly had a decent one, but then the water started fluctuating between scorching hot and freezing cold and I had to time jumping into the water during the split seconds it was hot enough to stand lol, before it eventually stopped again altogether, so at least now I know that’s a sign it’s on it’s way out.

I ended up having a nap today because I just had a headache all day, and I’d been woken up far too early for the first day of my weekend because I could hear the water repair people chatting with my Italian neighbour across the road. He was saying to her “It’s going to be really noisey…” and as soon as I heard him say that, I was like ‘Fuck that!’ and I forced myself out of my warm cozy bed and into the lounge, because a loud jackhammer was the LAST thing I needed to hear right outside my bedroom window at 7am.

I heard a bit of noise once in the loungeroom (toward the back of the house, away from the road) but it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. Still annoying enough to try and sleep through. And this was at 7:30am, mind you. But I think legally they are allowed to start making noise from 6am onwards. Not sure if that law has changed or not.

So yeah, very boring day today, and I ended up having another nap for a few hours after the water people had gone. I assume they’ve fixed the leak in the street, but I haven’t heard any cars all day because I assume they’d closed it off so they could carry out the repairs. I haven’t even been outside all God-damn day.

I woke up to a text from my housemate Alex upstairs. He was inquiring about how to fix the hot water. I noticed it was only sent about 20 minutes before I woke up, but I didn’t reply to it. I’m so fucking sick of him basically ignoring me. He literally lives in his room when he’s home during the week. He doesn’t work. He apparently does uni online, but all I ever heard from upstairs are blaring gun-noises, so unless his course is in video-gaming, I’m finding that hard to believe.

So yeah, I ignored it. If he wants to talk to me, he can come and talk to me in person. For fucks sake, I’m not that scary.
Eventually he did and came downstairs to ask me. If he wanted hot water, he’d have to. I told him what he needed to do. But fuck, it feels like if either of my housemates ever talk to me, it’s only when they need something.
And I’m pretty much having to spend most of my time in the lounge because nothing is working in my room anymore - fan, lights, TV remote. Now the hot water’s on the way out. Juuuuuuuuuuuuuust lovely.
Getting a little bit over making the effort to talk to the housemates. Nick will at least acknowledge me, and that’s all I really ask for. I try to make conversation and that’s not really easy for me, but I do care. Alex is useless. He won’t even say hi sometimes, and I’m just thinking like, “Really, queen. Really? I’m right here.” Andrew’s even told me he won’t be staying when he comes back. He definitely won’t be with someone as talkative as Andrew is. I have no idea how he pays rent not working like Nick and I do.

Anyway. Fuck it’s cold. I want this weather to piss off please. I’m just moody because I’m cold and have a headache that won’t go away and nothing is fucking working in my room, and Andrew reckons he hasn’t gotten a hold of an electrician yet. Not surprising when he’s been at London pride partying all weekend. be a fucking landlord and get an electrician out here ASAP. I don’t pay fucking rent for nothing.

Also, give me my Queensland sunshine back! It’s meant to be SNOWING in some parts of QLD overnight, and that is very rare!
