How I spent Earth Day

When we woke up and hubby and I discussed how it was going to be a nice lazy day . Nothing really important ie Laundry and Groceries could wait.

Then I flushed!

I tried to plunge... then called in Husbeast (I do that when I give up lol) and suddenly we had sewage in the tub too!

Well we are Renters and live in an RV park (surrounded by Retired People ... more about that in a bit) so I called our sweet lil ol' landlady. Come to find out she is recovering from Neumonia (oy) and she would be right over with her son (he isn't well either). Well , once they got here and did what men do (husbeast and the son) they determined it wasn't us!

A pipe burst under the front and all sorts of icky (add barfing sounds here) spill over my front yard!

It was the Parks fault (yea! boo!) so now they need to find The One In Charge. He arrives to tell us he is no longer in charge but the old fella who just rode past on his bike is! Finally we get two old timers (and now our neighbor too) over here . Now they have to find the Treasurer (Board of directors ,,, each lot is Owned etc) to authorize a plumber.

I tried to stay out of the way since I am just a female and definitely Not part of the Geriatric crowd here. I mean seriously .When they were waiting the discussions were all about their Health or lack of it. I tried to make nice and was ignored ! LOL Then we had the lil ol ladies on their golf carts riding around bein nosey!! We are on a one way street and have only 9 homes on it but 15 or so lots. Not much to see here folks!! but word must have traveled! it was funny! They really need to Knit or something  :) 

Hours later (and Hubby still needs to sleep before going to work at 10pm!) We get a Plumber (lil old lady and two sons - she reminded me of granny on the beverly hillbillies Seriously!) came and fixed it ! Yea!!!!!!!

It was 5pm before I could run water and shut the doors (thank You Febreeze!) and breathe, and flush!

So that was Earth Day  at our humble abode in the sticks. I think there is a metaphore here some where with the sewage fertilizing my front yard....
