On the downside, we have no gas and no hot water, which puts kind of a damper on showers and washing up and cooking and other such non-essentials as that. And the landlord hasn't answered my emails about those problems yet and the phone number he gave us isn't working.

But on the considerably blinding bright side, mum gave me a tracking number and it looks like the background check from yesterday's locked post should arrive in the mail tomorrow! (All things going well and assuming that the Mexican postal service doesn't decide the handwriting on the envelope is funny and drop it in a ditch somewhere.)

And we still have electricity, so I can microwave water to do washing up. Ain't no punk lack of hot water gonna keep me from being barefoot and in the kitchen.

All things weighed against one another, not a bad day.
