The hot water is back on.
Unfortunately, the apartment is also filled with smoke -- because, accidentally, I turned on the wrong burner on the stove when heating up water. (We don't use the left side of the stove at all as a rule, just to give you context, and maybe make me look marginally less stupid.) A plastic trivet that was resting on said burner caught fire, and the place was quickly filled with choking white smoke.
Fortunately I managed to douse the fire, open the windows, and turn off the shrieking smoke detector before TOO much damage was done. The stove is fine. The trivet, on the other hand, is a complete loss. And the stench is terrific.
*sighs again*
Off to take an antihistamine -- and a shower.
