It is a work day for me today and to my surprise, I did not have to walk to work in the rain. It looks like it is going to be another nice day.
I got a call from the town office around 9a.m. saying that the water was going to be turned off for at least 7 hours as they were cleaning out their system. We had about an hour to get the baths done and store some water for the day's use. Once the water was turned back on though, there would be a "boil water" advisory in effect because of all the pressure changes in the system.
We managed to get all the baths done and had water stored and before we knew it, the water was off and the day carried on fairly well - up until the power went out!! Now, the power going out usually is not a problem as the home has a back up generator that automatically starts up during any power failure. Today, however was a bit different. Our generator requires water to flow through it in order to keep the engine cool. Well, guess what.....we have no water. No water - No generator. No generator - No power. No power - No phone and no fans blowing to keep me and everyone else cool. Now that is a dilemma for someone who is suffering through several "tropical moments" during her day!! Let us just leave this with me saying it was a Very Long Hot Day!!
I will sleep like the dead tonight!!
