I appreciate running water
and will appreciate it more tomorrow when it (hopefully) will be running again.

Twenty four hours without it, and looks like it'll probably be another.

The laundry room drain backed up (yep, sewage and all) and I'm right next to it. Ugh. :puke: It extends far beyond the building, and the city is here trying to fix it, but doesn't think it can be done today.

I found someplace else to crash last night, I'll have try and to do so again tonight. x(



Give your sink a hug today...

4. Thanks, hon
I've been staying at a friend's place - I think the water will be back running tomorrow (or so the city says...)

She's got a nice place, so I'm okay if the water problem stays another week or two! We have a lot of fun together. :D

2. I've always wondered...why does water 'run'?
Why doesn't it walk or stroll?
Or even trot or jog?
It does meander sometimes though.

5. I'm sorry to hear that
in mid January, we were without power for just over 8 days, and without water, for about 10...our pipes froze,and it took a while for them to be, unfroze.....

I appreciate electricity the most...we were well prepared for water...but its nice to have the running water back!...:D
