Heard Any Good Jokes Lately?
I need some cheering up. This is a whine so you don’t have to read any further if you don’t want to hear me rant.
My husband looked out in the backyard yesterday afternoon and saw water standing in the yard. We have been in a drought so it was a shock to see the backyard full of water. After walking around the back of the house to see where the water was coming from, he discovered the well had sprung a leak.
I don’t know about you but when the word well is mentioned, I envision backhoes in my yard and piles of dirt being dug. The plumber couldn’t come until today so we ate dinner out and used one flush each before we shut the water off at the main valve. We brushed our teeth using bottled water. Do you know how many times you have to pee during the night when you really don’t want to because you can’t flush? I just got over a nasty bladder infection and am supposed to be drinking lots of water. Well, you know what happens when you drink water.
On to this morning. We decided to eat breakfast at the restaurant down the road and surely the plumber would be here when we got back. Having no water makes it difficult to remove eye wrinkle cream but I did the best I could and washed up better at the restaurant. We are lucky to have my mom living nearby. We may have to borrow her shower.
It is 2:30 and the plumber finally arrived. Calgon take me away! Oh wait…I can’t use the tub. Got any cheese for my whine?
