Of course, it's the weekend and no one will come out...
Discovered, in the middle of the night, after being out checking on a sick horse...that the water didn't work. I just wanted to wash my hands. Had to go find a gallon and have gone through about 6 gallons since last night. It isn't even noon yet.
I made breakfast and had to wash dishes....hands, sponge baths, teeth brushed, and flushing. It goes really fast... (The Great Dane drinks a lot, too.)
The only good thing I can think of...is that this "might" open my DH's eyes. He is so determined that nothing will ever change his way of life here in the USA. His idea is that if you don't think about it...it will never happen, I guess.
I do the best I can, to put food aside, and other necessary items...but it would be so much easier with some help from the other person in the house. (He who controls all the $...) I would love some kind of hand pump, along with the regular one....or to have some barrels of water. He just thinks that is all crazy....
Guess I'm just posting this, to remind everyone how much water you can use, when you are going through one gallon containers.....(More than you expect to!)
And to vent about a spouse that doesn't, and doesnt' "want to" get it. (He also thinks the bird flu is nothing to worry about.) What can you do?
Made me wonder how I'm going to water 9 horses if the shtf, too...
