And then what happened...

It has been two days without any water in my house and all of my plants, vegetables and even the lawn are starting to look very, very sad! The plumber promises me that today is the day...the water will run again. And just in time because I am tired of running to the store to go potty. But yesterday, my neighbors began a remodeling project and their contractor ordered a port-o-potty! It sits in my alley and has brought me so much joy. Sad I know...but love the proximity of a toilet. I actually did a happy dance when I saw it delivered. And yes, I have used it several times with such joy that it has almost made up for the lack of running water. Almost!

Yesterday I was running all around town trying to find new faucets for my sink and shower so my plumber could install and continue moving along. And after traveling to 4 different hardware stores (big orange), numerous rude or not so helpful sales associates, discontinued sink sets...I stood in the middle of the plumbing isle and dropped just a few tears. Just enough that my dad felt compelled to find a solution to all of the chaos. He gave me a hug, kiss and a pep talk! And then we got ice cream. I know it sounds stupid and pathetic...but this remodeling project has been a task! So as a last ditch effort, I went out to the 5th and final depot and they did not have what I was looking for...until I walked into the paint isle and found a box with the exact sink faucet set that had evaded me all along. I actually heard music and birds singing for joy.

So I was ready to call my night complete and be grateful for the final discovery of faucets. And then it happened...my phone rang and my friend was on the other line with these words! "I just got VIP tickets for us to go to the True Colors concert this Saturday!" Maybe it was my gratitude for the port-o-potty...maybe it was just dumb luck! Whatever....I will take what I can. Keep your fingers crossed for running water.
