I thought yesterday’s weather sucked big time but somehow Mother Nature and Jack Frost teamed up to let me know, “You ain’t seen nothing yet!” During the offseason, they do reunion tours with Bachman Turner Overdrive (sic).
Thanks to our fatigue, Somara’s cold and my general stupidity, we forgot to leave a couple spigots dripping, therefore, no water this morning. She called the City of Austin (our source), they said we’ll have to wait until it thaws to today, then we’ll get an idea if anything burst…immediately.
It’s not all bad news. According to Swacket, we’ll be on the mend tomorrow if we can get through the rain/sleet/snow (take your pick) and by the weekend, the weather will be tolerable until the next swing. Then there’s also our vacation fund we’ve built up, over two grand. Should there be an emergency like a burst pipe, c’est la vie. At least we had a buffer of money to absorb the pain.
Fingers crossed nothing bursts and if it does happen, hopefully it’s outside the house.
