Brian:

There isn't enough money in the whole world to pay me for the care I give my Alan!!!! Want to know what I just did???

This morning we woke up to about 20 degree temperatures. IN NYC YET!!! We are having quite a cold spell. The landlord (who lives next door) is very cheap with the heat. Sometimes it comes up and sometimes it doesn't.

The people who live downstairs in the basement (AND WHO DO NOT SPEAK ONE WORD OF ENGLISH AND THANKFULLY I SPEAK ITALIAN), well, we have a code.

If the steam is not coming up, I phone them and say BOOM BOOM BOOM. The lady knows that it means to walk over to the boiler and flip the switch up and down until it kicks in. We've been doing a lot of BOOM BOOM BOOM this week.

But this morning, Oh my, we were freezing. Too early to call her and go BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!! So I got my microwave warming heat up beads thing (that I place in the microwave for 3 minutes), took it out nice and piping warm, got back into bed and put it on Alan. He goes "oh my god, that is so nice".

So how much do you think I'm worth???? My weight in Gold???????

That's a lot of Gold lol
