Today was the day. I was gonna really dig deep and get the house cleaned. I was doing all the hard dirty work today. The laundry and dishes go without saying, but then I was going to tackle and conqer the bathrooms and the kitchen before moving on to vacuuming and shampooing the carpets.

Of course this would be the day that the city water company shut off the water feed to our rural water supplier to do some repairs. It was supposed to be turned back on by noon. HA! Then we were told it would be on by midafternoon. Well I call 2:00 pm midafternoon and still the water is at a trickle.

I have at least five loads of laundry, a load of dishes, and all that scrubbling of counters, basins, tubs, and tile and NO WATER.

It’s a conspiracy. Somebody wants my house to be dirty on Friday, the 4th of July, when all of my in-laws are here for the day and well into the night. Somebody wants my carpets to remain stained and my sinks and tubs and toilets grungy so that I can be humiliated in front of all our guests. I hate having people over to a messy or dirty house. At this rate it will be tomorrow before I can do the bulk of the work.

In the mean time, I’ll have to address some other chores and projects while I wait for the water to come back on. But it seems like everything I want to do today requires water–lots of water.

Maybe that’s the universe’s way of telling me to go take a nap? Or maybe it’s a sign to tend to my neglected blog. . . .

Okay! Okay! I’m listening. I posted.

Now please turn the water back on?
