I slept OK considering

I feel my water preps were really inadequate for something like that.  I should have had some no rinse body bath, I should have had more water in barrels/buckets ready to go.  I should have had more cases of water.  But I am making do.  

One thing that's never addressed is the toilet issue.  I found with the old toilet you could just pee indefinitely and when it gets above a certain point it goes down the drain.  But solids!  Well I got that during my toilet problem a few months ago.  I have pine pellet kitty litter, 8 gallon drawstring bags, and a 5 gallon bucket.  

I have had to make a couple calls to the company I think I fell between the cracks, but one lady is working on it right now.  I am glad I thought to tell her I had my water cut off she took that very seriously.  She strikes me as a git er done type lady, what my friend Ted would call "A Strong Black Woman".  No nonsense gets it done.  

I cannot believe how surreal my life has become just in a few hours.  I had a whole plan for the time off and now that is out the window.  Not that I am complaining.  For some reason the damn pipe just breaks at the meter every 10 years or so.  It has been 11 since the last break.  Here it is: won't let me put up a link so you will have to cut and paste.  It's mainly a photo of my cat exploring the hole dug to fix the pipe last time.  https://houstonheather.blogspot.com/2011/08/some-humor.html

So I guess I just budget for that, like I budget for new shower fixtures in about 8 years.  I hope it is cheap but figure this will probably set me back around a thousand dollars.  We will see.  Maybe, now that the water is drained, they can take a look...

He came.  $2,500.  Thank God I have it (Ron's bank account I got a year after he died).  Best news of all it will be fixed today so I get the rest of my days off.  

What a couple of days.  Should be here @3.
