A Great Start...Then Really? Seriously? Sigh....

So, a big weekend was planned and set up.  DH went on a camping trip to the Sierras.  I had lots of yarn, lots of cross stitch supplies, plenty of wooden boxes and paint.  I was on a roll.  Got most of the yard work done, finished cleaning one bathroom and the kitchen.  Three days of peace and quiet and projects. Happy, happy dance.

Finished my stepson's scarf.

Pulled out some new wool/silk/cashmere for my next project.

I'm working on Number 5 needles.  Smaller than I am used to, but perfect for this project.  It will be a soft, delicate scarf for a friend...the true pattern starts in another 1/2 inch.

And then...no water.  That's odd.  We are on a well with a 5000 gallon tank.  I go out to check this morning.  No pump sound, no water in the tank.  That is all bad.  I call the well company, but the first thing he asks is the depth of my pump and well.  Pump at 340 feet, well depth is 350 feet. He sighs, says that the water in my area is below 350 feet.  That means it is possible that I've lost my well. Really?  Seriously? So, he's coming to check my well and I'm trying to find a company that will deliver water for my holding tank.  On a Saturday.  On a three day weekend.  On  Labor Day.  Oh yeah, that's going to happen.  I have bottled water for emergencies, but not enough for showers and the toilet.  I'm willing to skip the shower part, but pretty sure I will need to use the facilities at least a few times in the next two days.  I am hoping to get another phone number for water delivery when the well guy gets here.  Sigh....

I will keep good thoughts that I will get this settled today.  Dad's care doesn't include much water, so we are good on that front.  At least I won't be doing any more house cleaning or yard work.  LOL More time for knitting.

And for each of you, have a wonderful weekend. Be kind to one another.
