the water has been turned off every damn day this week. i've never lived somewhere where the water was out this much. it's ridiculous. i feel like i'm in a third world country... there are a million things i need to do before juchan gets here, and i need water for almost all of them. i haven't been able to do laundry all week thanks to having no water, so i desperately need to wash clothes. i also need to scrub the guest bathroom, take a shower, brush my teeth, and clean the casserole dish i need to make tonight's meal. i'd like to know what the fuck they're doing that the water has had to be off so fucking much. we were right in the middle of trying to wash brumby when the damn water went out again. i think we managed to rinse him off alright before it shut off entirely. didn't really get to finish the job, though, so his snout is still a mess. what a pain in the ass.

edit: apparently, the morons that have been wrecking our driveways keep hitting the water mains. yeah, this is much better than having unsightly cracks in our driveways caused by tree roots. i've been forced awake way too early all week from the noise of trees being torn down and chipped and driveways being ripped up, as well as all the noisy fucking construction vehicles driving up and down the damn street. and now i find out that this useless waste of a project is also at fault for the water being off all week. i'm fucking fed up with this shit. i didn't even want this project to go forward to begin with. i'd rather have trees than perfect driveways. who gives a shit if they're cracked? as long as you can drive on them, i don't see the problem. it's a huge waste of money (hence the astronomical rise in fees this year, partly), and it's also a pain in the fucking ass.
