Famine

Well, that might be an exaggeration. It's more like a small drought. It hasn't rained this year at all. Which is really bad. It means the city has to ration water. So Andrew and I get water even less frequently then we were before, and when we do get it, the pressure is so low, we can't do anything with it.

Sunday we had a Super Bowl party at our house. It was great. We miraculously had water the whole time. Until the end. When we needed to wash dishes, clean the kitchen and floors. The water did not come back the next day. It came back Tuesday morning, but only enough to flush the toilet and shower. It was out again when we got home from school. Wednesday, no water at all. Thursday morning, only enough to brush teeth and flush the toilet. No water that evening, and NO POWER. I spent the night at the girls' apartment. Andrew roughed it. Friday, power, but no water. UNTIL TONIGHT!!!! Our giant, gross, disgusting, smelly, rotting pile of dishes was clean when I walked in the door a few minutes ago!!! Thanks Andrew. It also has looked like rain all evening. No delivery yet, still waiting expectantly.

Coming soon: Horseback riding if Amy ever decided to write to you, and the 7th and 8th grade field trip (Amy and I got to go with, it's a long story)
