Update: 7am, water connected! oh yeah, shower for me! Sandra, do you know how long it has been since I took a shower? Don't ya know me at all? My appearance of my hair is the least of my problems...
.... except in the house!
Woke this morning to Gary shouting "NO WATER", "No water", "no water". Before I opened my eyes I scanned my brain: yes, Gary said he paid the overdue water bill (I had been several weeks out of the bill paying loop with the appendicitis shenanigans.) I also think I paid the latest water bill received two weeks ago....
Yes, bills were paid. Phone call now necessary to the city. They indicated a "problem" in our area which will be fixed shortly. Luckily, there is a trickle of water to wash breakfast dishes. This happy and convenient state of affairs only lasted about an hour before the water was totally out.
We waited patiently all day until 4:50pm when we called the city. "The problem has been fixed and now we are flushing the pipes. Water will be back on in a few"
As of 10:10, there is still no water.
We are OK since we have a water barrel to flush toilets and we keep giant bottled water in fridge; however, you may know my shower habits... I was planning on showering today to get ready for classes tomorrow. Oh, well, I will just be the ripest smelling co-ed on campus- not to mention the oldest, I'm sure.
