Huh.....

Leaking

I lied. I officially start school tonight instead of last night. Last night was a science lab which I did not have to attend since we'd had no lecture to lab about. Tonight is my Health Science Lecture from 7:30 to 10:30. My first class in almost 8 years. Eric showed me his undying support with a "go get'um" card and a new shirt for my first day of school. He's a keeper.

So last night I came home and heard "shtththshshsthththshsththshtsth". Yea, the pin-hole leak we found in our water pipes on Sunday that I didn't tell you about turned in to a not-so-pin-hole leak overnight. Eric wasn't home and so I did what I do best. I freaked out. I was all fuzzy headed and couldn't think of what to do for some reason. My first thought was, "Oh shit -- the new carpet!" and now I realize it should have been, "Oh shit -- where's the main water shut-off?" In any case -- I eventually pulled myself together and wrapped a towel around the leaking pipe, called a neighbor for guidance in shutting off the main water line, and soaked up the carpet as best I could with our entire towel collection. A much needed cigarette was inhaled deeply after that.

Last night and today we have no water. Eric and I went to his Moms late last night to bathe. This morning I brushed my teeth with bottled water and I'm without make-up today. I haven't washed my face so I saw no point in putting it on. (Washing my face with freezing cold bottled water was not an option!) Not such a pretty day for Jess I will admit but my hair is fucking clean.

Eric and his brother are going to replace the pipes in the manifold. (Fun word - "manifold") this afternoon, and while I'm at school. I wonder if my hair will be clean tomorrow?
