Last night I was,um, checking out the facilities, um, checking out the throne room, um, ah heck! I had to pee in the middle of the night, as usual! and out of habit just hit the flush handle and to my delight it FLUSHED! The water was at last after two long days and nights that felt more like years. And the air started the slow journey down to a comfortable level from the 96F that was showing on mt thermostat when I checked last night, a very good thing since we started back into another heat advisory today. We still have to boil the water before using it for at least 24 more hours, but that’s easy enough to do. It has the added benefit of adding moisture to our otherwise desertlike dry air.
Today turned out to be my day to see or hear from several family members also. I always visit my aunt on Wednesday and my cousin is usually there as well, but today while we were talking my son came strolling down the hall. I’m not sure which of us was more surprised, but he stopped for a short visit before heading back out to the farm. His uncle and half owner of the farm now lives at the same home as my aunt, and Don had just dropped him off after a visit to the farm that Don and Mike run now, with their step-mom taking care of the books for them. Altogether a winning situation for everyone — with the possible exception of accident prone Mike! He should be wrapped in bubble wrap and protected from himself — very much like his accident prone mom! That would be me!
