I burn my candles almost every day. In reality, they don't do much to mask the smell of cigarette smoke, but I burn them anyway as a psychological defense; a placebo effect, if you will. I decide that they're helping so they're helping.

So ConEd decided to turn off the gas yesterday. They're working on something on the corner. I thought, "Dangit! I was just about to cook my greens. Boo." I settled for a peanut butter sandwich instead.

Today, the gas is still off. And an unfortunate side effect is that we have no hot water. The water heater (or boiler, whatever it is) is gas-powered. Which means that I gasped my way through the coldest - and quickest - shower I've ever taken.

Please hurry and finish, ConEd. Most of my food is only consumable after it's been cooked, and I'm running out of peanut butter and yogurt.


The weather's warm and clear.

And I have to go to work.
