Sunday didn't start out as a good day for me. I went down to start laundry and the dryer quit working. Now, it had only been a week since the Floyd's fixed it that last time. So, I knew I would be heading back to the laundry mat. About 15 minutes later I went to check on the washing machine as I never heard the final spin and I went in and it quit working because there was no water going in. Upon checking other faucets, I found out we had no water at all. So, Floyd went up to the field and got all the water jugs and filled them up so we could have water to flush the toilet and water to clean up with. Monday morning Floyd called Greg Lintz to see who he would recommend and Floyd made the call. Well, they couldn't come until Tuesday and that ended up being around 3:30 pm. After checking things out it didn't look like our well had dried up and that he would be back Wednesday morning to start working. Well, Wednesday morning he returned and the first thing he was wrong was ok. So, he decided to change the point, something we had done when Deb and the kids lived here and Stacy was 1, a long time ago. So, after the point was changed we still didn't have a lot of water so he thought that sand had caked up around the point and he dropped acid down and he came back today. At first, he still wasn't getting much water but I guess things changed and he says we now have enough. So, right now he is running water outside to get all the black out. I can't use any in the house except to flush the toilet but just to flush it now seems like such a luxury. It's amazing how we take such little things for granted. I'm hoping to be able to take a shower tonight.
Simon has been a trooper through all of this and has never complained once. I have offered to him that we could stay at Carol's but he likes staying at home and I take him to Carol's to take his shower.
And my parts for the dryer have arrived so Floyd Joe can now fix that. I will be happy just to be back to normal.
