Once again, the boiler is not working. The guy who came in to look at it didn't have the part. On the other hand, he was really nice, and seemed to know exactly what he was doing, even if he wasn't as good at explaining it as Dan. But Dan is out of town for the holiday.

It shouldn't be too expensive, but I really don't need any more expenses.

And I really didn't need to spend time--this morning, and lunchtime, and since work let me go--on the heat instead of writing.

I am pleased with the additions I'm making to Clockwork Dragon, but still...I wanted to have at least twice as many of those new additions by now.

Oh, well, now I'm off to check exactly how cold the radiators are. Bet you didn't expect me to be using aquarium thermometers on my radiators! Me neither.
