We are still without water and at the mercy of the city to fit us into their schedule. We are so fortunate in that we can turn the water on at the meter for short periods. We can take quick showers and wash a few dishes. The second refrigerator is full of bottled water. There is a container of wipes by each sink for washing hands and cleaning up messes. I've become very water efficient, and...I've mastered that intimidating tool that is used to turn on the water. I am feeling a bit like "wonder woman". ha! ha! ha!
I have had several friends call to rescue me this weekend. In reality this is just a little hiccup in my day to day routine. Although I did tell a friend to slap me next time I venture off and begin romanticizing about simpler times gone by. I am quite happy living in this complicated 21st century with air conditioning, automobiles, refrigerators, Starbucks, and indoor plumbing.
Today I count my blessings!

It is good when we realize that we are still adaptable. That said, I'd rather be so on my own terms!! Hope your water situation is resolved soon.

Bonnie, All will be well.....it is merely an inconvenience. (I talk a good game!)
DeleteHello Bonnie:
ReplyDeleteYou appear to be very stoical and philosophical about your present situation which, at very best, must be exceedingly frustrating. We do hope that normal service, whatever that actually is, will be resumed shortly.
Jane and Lance, You are too kind, I am afraid I merely put on a good show. We have been spoiled with everything given to us upon demand and for a price, especially when we think of it as a "right". Thank you....water will flow again soon, I am certain.
DeleteBeautiful photo caught me and then learning you are still in "water woes" . . . oh my . . . sorry to learn you are still dealing with "the issues." I am hoping for resolution soon!
ReplyDeleteLynne, I am hoping this next week. I am staying optimistic!!! Thanks, Bonnie
DeleteThe good old days are romanticized and life without our conveniences was not so easy. However, if need be, we can make do. Your attitude is wonderful and hopefully things will be fixed soon.
ReplyDeleteArleen, I am actually channeling your "and I am okay" mantra. It really sounds a lot worse than it actually is here....(she says with a smile). Bonnie
DeleteYou go, girl!

DeleteYou are rockin' it, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteI do hope you get your water back soon!
Jill, I try! All will be up and running soon. Fingers crossed. Bonnie
DeleteSounds like our place during hurricane season....hope you get your water back soon.
ReplyDeleteOh growing up in Louisiana, I know a little about hurricanes. I suspect you have more than water issues when the storms hit. I hope you have dodged them so far this season.
DeleteSorry to hear you remain sans water flow. It doesn't take much to remind us of how lucky we normally do have it. Hope they fix it soon. Meanwhile, enjoy the company of your bird!
ReplyDeleteThanks Webb. I've got to take care of my little winged friends. They delight me so.
Delete"You never miss the water till the well runs dry", we've been through this before. Makes you ever so grateful to live in Modern times!
ReplyDeleteJeri...You hit the nail on the head. It will all be rectified soon...keeping my fingers crossed.
