geowenchWe were without running water for 10 days, but as of yesterday afternoon, the well/pump has been repaired, and it only cost $150.
Last week was ROUGH, especially the four days or so when were iced in and had only snow water with which to try and flush the toilets. Once we were able to get out, we went into E's lab every other day which has a shower, and we brought back gallons of water. Even so, we could only flush once a day. Suffice it to say, it was cold, it was dirty, it was smelly, it was the hardest part of this crappy quarantine year (for us) by FAR. Still, we never lost power, we had plenty of eat and drink, and I'm very cognizant of how very lucky we are in the grand scheme of things.
But I actually have something positive to report - E got his first COVID jab on Sunday, and my first one is scheduled for day after tomorrow (Friday). Also, my BP has been more or less normal for the last couple of days AND the vision in my L eye has definitely improved. I see the retina specialist again tomorrow.
And the days are appreciably longer and it feels like Spring is one its way, and January and February are always hard months, and it's nearly March, and life goes on.
