The other shoe dropped yesterday after we got electric power back when we lost water.
We are on a small town's water utility system and we lost water pressure and then by noon we lost all water, not even a drip.
It was suppose to be restored early this morning but the local updates now say sometime tomorrow with no indication of a time line.
Daughter said the local store was cleaned out of water yesterday. I also saw everybody in Walmart when I went through at the butt crack of dawn on Sunday loading up carts full of cases of water. I guess they knew something I didn't as a new resident here.
So we haven't been able to flush the toilets(TMI), wash dishes, bathe, etc. and I had to use some bottled water(thank goodness for my prepper pantry!)to brush my teeth last night.
It's a good thing I have almost no hair left too(as the little hair I have left is nasty dirty at this point)so I can just use one of my chemotherapy patient headwraps and cover it up when we go out later today.
**No, I am not a cancer patient I just look like one. ;-)
Now the Municipal Big City Water System has been knocked off line too which tells me there will be mass hysteria soon if the water isn't back soon. And me thinks, all the restaurants and fast food places will be doing box office business today(if they have water).
And I am thankful for a small supply of fast food "sporks" we kept as well as TV dinners and paper plates we can throw away.
But it's not like any of this is delaying or cancelling any Mardi Gras Parades(of which there are many during MG Season-it's not just a day but a season here!
Some Roads are still closed as well as some medical facilities as well as all schools elementary through colleges. Temps are suppose to rise into the 50's later today however so that's progress, I think?
I feel like I am living in Southern Hell sometimes.....and it's not even Summer, when actual Hell here happens.
