A New Leak and When Will This Ever End!






     Well here we go again, another leak.  If you all recall, we just did this a few weeks back.  The picture on the left shows how that looks today.  Not close to done and only one bathroom working right now. 
I know I've felt the earth move a few times and it really makes me wonder.  It could just be the crummy pipe from Home Depot.  Either way, knowing that doesn't help at all. 

 

  Ever notice how your never ready for these things to happen?  Anything you were planning to do, or working on is now null and void.  I've been planning some sewing projects for months, really, months.  I was just feeling that I was seeing the light at the end of the tunnel with the hope that I would actually be putting the pedal to the metal on my sewing machine and now it's buried in clothes.  Trying to find a pair of jeans before the insurance plumber showed up became a "where's Waldo" type of game.  Although I'm sure he wouldn't have noticed since he would probably be grossed out by the Frito's in my teeth since I had no water to brush my teeth. 

     That's another funny thing about it.  You know you have no water in the house, you have to keep a bottle near the toilet for flushing purposes, you have bottled water in the kitchen, your socks are drenched yet you still go over and try to turn on the faucet to rinse your hands off.  Okay, maybe you don't do that, but I do.
Just like when the power was out, I walked into my room with a flashlight in my hand, and yep, I flipped the light switch to turn on the light.  Lifelong habits are hard to break I guess.  We do a lot of things that we don't even think about anymore.



      So, okay, I'm not talking about apples today.  I know I said I was done talking about apples, but I lied.  Not intentionally mind you.  But I so want to make fruit roll ups or fruit leathers.  Same thing either way.  Then I realized I don't have the right mats for my dehydrator.  So, maybe I'll just do the oven method.  Your saved from apples right now though, by an intensely huge leak in my bedroom closet that seeps out into the carpeting and another wall. 



   I wanted to share one of my little money making online things, Swagbucks.  I wanted to tell you about my last groupon deal. 
I did manage to dry some of my sage plant in the dehydrator today.  I'm not sure if that is a good thing or if it was better left to dry on it's own. 

But life's little leaks get in the way.
