HOORAY! The water just came on! For 2 days we've had to only flush yellow, wash dishes once a day, with extra care, and the worst, yes, the very worst, I've had to miss my nightly de-stressing hot bath. Tonight, I have big plans to have a nice, hot bath with some bubble bath I've been saving for such a time as this :)
That's the good news. The bad news is that the washing machine is completely out of commission until a part arrives from the US. That could be anywhere from 2-6 weeks. Yikes! The water guy has tried and tried, but to no avail. More hand wash....
The weather is now cold- cold enough that the laundry gets tidy little icicles hanging from it as it dries. I'll try to get a picture of that posted very soon. It's really quite a crack up. We can always tell how the lauderer has done his or her job, but the length of the icicles. It's a very objective measurement of how well the clothes have been wrung.
Today the kids and I started to make our ornaments for our Jesse Tree. If you've never seen the Jesse Tree idea- just give it a Google. It's a wonderful way to bring a little more meaning into the holiday.
It's settled- Dubai for our area conference. We are looking forward to seeing somewhere new, and are definitely looking forward to Wild Wadi World. Apparently it's the largest water park in the world! Mostly, though, we are looking forward to having a break out of Central Asia with a variety of food options, shopping, beaches, pools and fellowship with other English speakers.
Well, that's the news today. Hope you are well, and enjoying your running water, washing machine, and icicle-free clothes.
