Hace frio...

So I know it's hard to believe it, but coldness has swept the desert. We've finally shut off our air conditioner and swamp cooler. During the first couple nights, we left the windows open too. It made for the perfect temperature in which to go to sleep. However, two nights ago it got down into the 30s. Let's just say it was pretty chilly in the house the next morning. That wasn't the worst part though. It seems that our hot water heaters are set on vacation-mode... which is 60 degrees. It's not fun to take a cold shower early in the morning, and then emerge into a house that's freezing. I've finally figured out how to get the heater for the guest house turned on, but the heater for our house is in a locked closet that we don't have the keys to. We're having to run to the guest house for our showers in the morning. Did I mention it's cold outside in the mornings? I know all of you out there in much colder climates are laughing at us right now... truthfully, I'm laughing at us.
