Well what an interesting way to end my weekend.  I come home from a long day of work and watching sports to find out that my house is out of water.

I walked home from my friend’s place and in the distance I can see four or five real huge dump trucks with yellow lights flashing and lighting up my entire street.  When i finally reach the pavement of my street I find myself standing in a huge pool of water and as I get closer to my house the water becomes deeper.  When I reach the front yard of my home I see a bunch of guys digging a big hole into the sidewalk of the house across the street.  Apparently while my neighbors were out enjoying the Bills’ game at Ralph Wilson Stadium the main water pipe in front of their house exploded causing a huge flood on my street.  Not to mention that all of the neighboring houses were completely out of water as well. 

So when I arrived at my home I continued on with my normal Sunday afternoon schedule.  Basically what I do is I will exercise for about an hour, take a shower, and have a snack.  What I didn’t realize at the time is all three of these activities usually require water for me to do them.  When i exercise I prepare myself a nice cold water bottle. When you take a shower you pretty much need water, common sense really, and I usually prefer a tall glass of water with my snack. 

I figured that I could go on with my Sunday schedule without water.  Simple enough right?  Not quite.  I pretty much forgot that the water was out about four different times.  I would keep on walking up the sink during my exercising, grab a cup, and try to turn the faucet on.  Basically what happened was the sink would make a very loud and strange noise, which was a rude reminder that the water was still not working.  I felt like an idiot every time I did that.  Yet I continued on with my afternoon activities.  I figured that the longer i exercised the more time it would give the guys working on the broken pipe outside to get the water fixed for me to take a shower after.  So i exercised a little bit longer than usually and went to the nearest sink to test it out and see if the water was working. Of course, not a single drop of water came out of the sink.  Plus, now I had to go to the little boys room to take care of some business.  Well without any water the toilet doesn’t flush.  So I trekked myself outside and picked out a nice pine tree next to my garage to tinkle on.  So this is what life was like way back in the day huh?

Well here I am now.  At least the electricity is working.  I have not showered since yesterday morning.  Since then, I have gone ice skating, worked in a parking at at the Bills’ game, hung around with my friends, and did some exercise.  Lets just say I don’t smell very terrific and I just feel dirty.  Hopefully I will wake up tomorrow and have the water running.  If not I just won’t go to school.  I figure nobody will want to be around me if I have not showered in over two days.
