So i havent been very organized with my bills lately. I usually have a calendar on my desk where i write when all my bills are do. Well when last year ended i didnt get a new calendar, i figured that i would just remember when to pay my bills. So today i get home and i have a notice on my door that my water has been shut-off!!! So i obviously forgot to pay my water bill and they add a 10% fee for not paying and $25 to have it turned back on plus the month or two that i missed. And then i could only pay in cash and i lost my debit card so i had to walk across the street to my bank and pull out the payment, i got a little nervous to walk when i saw these 4 rough looking guys at the cross walk, but they went the other way so i was good, and it was broad day light and the bank was only like 50 ft away (if that.)
I cant just go online and pay my bill i have to send it in and i end up procrastinating (obviously) and so i think we'll just do an automatic withdrawl each month for our water bill and try to avoid this happening again. Thankfully we were only home for 4 hrs of it being off, but trying to cook dinner was a disaster; the only water we had was left over from Ian's lunch and i was dealing with chicken, so i wash my hands constantly and thats a little hard with a jug of water, and then the chicken slips off the plate and juice gets on my shirt and the counter and it was just a big mess with no easy source of water. But i managed it all and i just wore plastic shopping bags on my hands to avoid direct contact. WHAT A DAY!!! and yes my water is back on, YAY!!
