Oh Frabjous Day!

days_unfoldingI did find a place to board the girls, with "multi-level cat condos with outside window views to a 'bird feeder garden'". I also grabbed their food, their beds, and a toy for Zara. It took forever to get there, though, because the streets weren't clear.
However, when I was dashing into the shower this morning, the shower wouldn't turn on and the drain seemed to be frozen over. I cursed, washed my hair in the sink and took a sponge bath, and called the maintenance people to fix that as well. I ran into the guy on the way out, and he said that the neighbor's pipes were frozen too. I don't know how that happened, but might have been Sunday night when the pilot light kept on going out, and I waited until it got to 55 degrees F to relight it yet again. I didn't know if they had fixed it today, though, because they didn't close the problem and these people do not communicate. I discovered when I got home, though, that the shower is indeed working. Oh frabjous day--I can take a shower. I might take two: one tonight and one tomorrow morning.
I really would like to know what their plan is though about the furnace, and these people do not communicate. I need to know how long to board the cats. I don't know what to do. I told the kennel two days, but we'll see. It's really sad here without the girls, but at least I don't have to worry about them.
Work today was largely a waste because I have lost network access, and later in the day, the e-mail server went down. The lead IT person quit recently, and today only one IT person was there. We're scheduled for our system to go live on Monday, and I have no faith that we'll make it.
I am so exhausted. I'm going to do only what I have to do, and crash. I had problems falling asleep last night because my mind wouldn't stop churning.
I (selfishly) wish that there was someone else here to help deal with all this stuff. If I wasn't tight on cash because of the car, I'd consider hiring a "personal assistant" one day a week to deal with stuff like this (although it's hard to schedule crises -;)) and keep me sane. Saneish.
