..:: deja vu ::..

Tonight I find myself blogging from my old, almost forgotten bedroom at my parents home. I was forced to abandon my own house for the night, due to a lack of running water. I'm not sure exactly what the problem is, but when I got home from my PHP class tonight, I entered my home to find that I had no running water anywhere in the house.

I know it can't be that the pipes froze up, because although we did get a small blizzard that blew through the area today, (even though we're a good two weeks into Spring - gotta love Montana), this is nothing compared to the three or four weeks of solid sub-zero temps we had back in December and January. And I know it can't be that I forgot to pay my water bill, because I am not on city water, but rather well water.

At first I thought it was an electrical problem, perhaps a breaker blew or something, because my well water uses an electric pump, but I checked the breaker box and all was fine, plus all of the lights and electrical equipment inside the house are working fine, so the only thing it could possibly be is that the pump itself shut down for whatever reason. Which is odd, because the house was completely remodeled only about a year ago, and supposedly they put in a brand new pump when they redid the house, (suddenly I am having my doubts that that is true however).

At any rate, that is why I find myself blogging from the old bedroom that I used to call home, many, many years ago.

Yeah, I suppose I could have toughed it out for one night in my house without running water, it certainly would not have been the end of the world, but there is one thing that I absolutely hate to do without, especially on a work day, and that is a toasty-hot shower in the morning...

Ooooohhhh yeeaaahhh! Gotta love the steamy hot shower! I find it hard to do anything in the morning before my twenty-minute download of steamy-hot goodness.

I'll have to call the landlord first thing in the morning and see what the problem is. I don't want to free load off the parents for too long. Plus, as you can see in the picture above, the bed I'm sleeping in tonight is rather puny, I am used to my spacious and comfy double bed, this little twin is barely big enough to roll over in without collapsing to the floor, but it'll do for tonight. Now I think I'm going to close my eyes and start dreaming of tomorrow morning's twenty-minute download of steamy-hot goodness. Goodnight!

I hear you on the showers. It's how I reset my day so I know where I'm starting from.
