Water everywhere and not a drop to drink

Yesterday was a mixed bag. Got all ready for church and ----from then on chaos --- the water supply ended. Mike came over and told me just as I was getting ready to leave - so- no church - after much discussion and conjecture it was decided an electrician should be called. But, who? Finally I called Guilda and she told me they use Watterson out of Greenwood. Called him and he agreed he would be out "after lunch." Then, Mike started checking stuff out with some kind of meter and decided it was Duke Energy's responsibility - so called Watterson and left a message not to come - called Duke and reported a "partial outage" - a first for me when some things worked and some didn't???? Immediately she guessed we had lost our 220 when I told her the well pump had stopped and the dryer - not mine, I don't have one - Angie's had stopped. With all that having been handled as best I could for the time being - to the grocery store and back expecting - hoping it was fixed. It wasn't - not until 8:30 last night did we have water. In the meantime, I ended up going back to the store for a couple gallons of drinking water. I had already dipped a bucket into the rain barrel to flush the toilet. One nice thing about living on the Pond, some kind of water is always available - but not to drink, of course. In the midst of all this activity, I knitted dishrags and tried to do lots of thinking things that simply couldn't come to be - my head was used up. So, I finally resorted to eating ice cream and Hershey's Nuggets and watching TV. That finished the day! Except, after all that late day chocolate, I couldn't go to sleep. A rarity for me - except when I eat too much chocolate. But - today is a new day! I'm off to Greenwood shortly to teach my yoga classes at the Y and then tonight have my geneology (sp?)writing class - so a FUN DAY.
