Counting Down

Last night we found a note on the door informing us that our water would be shut off all day again today.  Last week it was turned off between 9 and 5 for four days in a row, while they tried to repair a broken water main.  I guess it didn’t take.  I had to stay up late trying to finish up all the laundry and dishes while we still had water.  I filled a bucket of water for the kitchen and a pitcher in the bathroom.  When apartment living gets to be a hassle, it’s nice to know we’ll be moving into our new house in just over two weeks.  I’m really looking forward to having a full size washer and dryer, in the garage instead of the kitchen, that are so quiet that you don’t have to yell over them.  I’ll miss having a dishwasher, though.
