Brick for Heat

For the second day in a row, there is no heat in my apartment. I’ve been sitting here, doing necessary things like paying bills and pseudo necessary (really? unnecessary) things like setting up a blog so I can blog about my upcoming journey to the other side of the world. So I’ve been sitting here catching an unbelievable chill. I just went into the kitchen, turned on the oven and hovered over it with a cup of tea. I also placed a brick in the oven to bring back here,  and now my feet are resting on the warm brick. My grandmother taught me that one from her childhood in rural Austria.

There are jackhammers outside my window. It’s maddening.
