NaBloPoMo, or not NaBloPoMo?

But–into the breach, dear readers! Let us try, once more, to conquer November! Woot!
That said, November started off badly, to wit: OmegaDad left the garage door open all night long. It got down to zero last night. The water pipes froze.
BUT!
Luckily for OmegaDad, there is that “but”.
He caught it in time! He closed the garage door, turned the garage heater on full blast, fiddled with a valve, and we sat around for hours waiting for a plumber, sans water, fearing the worst…
Only to be told by the plumber that OmegaDad had actually left the valve closed. So the plumber opened the valve, and voila! Water! Gushing out of open faucets all over the house! Woot!
The plumber says that, yes, the pipes had frozen. Just barely. And the garage heater had thawed things.
Then the plumber suggested to me, as I was writing the check, that it might be a good idea to get a thermostat alarm thingummy (which he wasn’t sure where to get, but he kept meaning to find out, because he thought it would be a good idea to stock them, because of people like OmegaDad). It just so happens that I had been suggesting the very same thing to OmegaDad!
So all is well that ends well. OmegaDad is showering as I type. Shortly I will be able to wash clothes, clean house, do my normal weekend-ly things.
And there is no husbandly body stashed under the front stairs. This is a good thing, don’t you think?!
