The Cottage Around the Corner

Decatur City has been out of water since yesterday. I can't tell you how important water is...unable to clean dishes, flush toilets...even get a drink. Needless to say, my house is a wreck. There are tons of piles up dishes and no way to clean them. The city decided not to warn anybody, so by the time we found out we would be without water for 24 hours, all the water in the stores was sold out.

I will have so much clean up to do when this is all over. It might be a nice cleaning break, but when you can't flush a toilet and people still have to go to the bathroom... then the scented candles don't really help.

It should be back on by 1700 tonight. Oh yeah. I am very disappointed how this has been handled. We live in an 1100 sq ft house with 7 people. I can't tell you how much of an inconvenience this is. One thing I have learned from all of this is that indoor plumbing isn't that great without water. I would do anything for an out house right now...
