Yesterday evening, I came home to a little pink sign hanging on my doorknob. I grabbed it without looking and walked inside.

“Your water has been turned off due to : bill non-payment. Please call 1-800-XXX-XXXX immediately.”

Gah! We don’t pay our water bill, our landlady does. Quick phone call to her. Apparently she forgot to pay it, lost the first notice, and paid last week when she got the second notice. Too bad the check got to them yesterday and had to be received by Friday. So, our water won’t be turned back on until sometime between 8:30 and 4:30 today.

Needless to say, we went out and had a very long dinner before coming home and watching Weeds via Netflix. You never realize how much you use water until you can’t. Don’t worry – she brought by a ton of bottles of water for us to use. She also offered a hotel stay but I’d much rather sleep in my own bed. Plus, both of our workplaces have showers we can use.

And now, I’m zooming off to a fun-filled day of meetings. At least I won’t be sitting in my cubicle all day…
