Since yesterday ended better than it started, today is off to a better start.  Yes, I’m talking about the water situation.  As you know from last nights post, the landlord came over with a truck carrying a 350 gallon water tank and hooked that up to the pump in the basement.  Since hooking it up, we haven’t had a single problem, other than water pressure that is a little lower than what we’re used to.  But it’s not low enough to make a huge difference, so I’m definitely not going to complain.

Although we do have a fix to the water problem, this fix proves that it is a problem with the well and not the pump.  That in itself is NOT good!  That means that we’re either going to have a new point put in the current well, or have a whole new well drilled.  Either are major and costly problems!  I guess only time will tell as to which one we end up having to do!

On a different note, after living here for 6 weeks and my son being picked up by the bus for 5 of those, for some reason or another his being picked up here in the morning was kicked out of their system.  And they printed out new route sheets yesterday.  Add to that the fact that he’s had a substitute driver for the past week and you get a kid standing outside waiting for the bus only to see it FLY by on it’s way down the road.  It didn’t slow down, attempt to stop or anything, it flat out just flew by the house.  I got on the phone with the bus dispatcher and she wasn’t able to get the driver on the radio at all.  That’s when she discovered that his morning bus pick up had been changed back over to our old address, almost 2 miles away.  Fortunately for them, they were able to send another bus that was in the area to pick him up because I would have had their butts on a platter if they would have told him there was no bus to pick him up this morning!  I don’t understand how a computer system can change someones address!  Over five weeks ago the computer said for him to be picked up here in the mornings, as of yesterday it said for him to be picked up here in the morning, so how did that change over  night?  Oh the joys!

So, since we have sufficient water, today will be spent cleaning, doing laundry and finishing up my painting!  Too bad I have so much work to do because it is absolutely GORGEOUS outside weather wise!  At 6:00 AM this morning the temp was in the low 50’s!  WOW!!!!  But that won’t last long, they’re calling for cold and snow by Thursday…LOL!  That’s Ohio for ya, if you don’t like the weather, wait a few hours and it will change!
