(Last time I published when I didn't mean to.  This time I thought I published when I didn't.  This one was supposed to go up on Friday, then I forgot all about it!  I hope this isn't the beginning of a trend.)

Once again the stove top is covered with pots simmering away.  Actually, they're boiling away.  I wish I could say I'm cooking something good, but unfortunately it's only water.  Our district is under a boil water advisory after e-coli was found in our water supply.  YUCK!

The notice to boil water was issued yesterday, but I didn't hear about it until this morning when Hubby called from work to let me know.  Ewww!  Ewww!  Ewww!  Now I'm regretting that huge green smoothie I made, and the 2 litres of water I drank, and the beautiful cup of green/goji tea I had, and brushing my teeth, and so on, and so on, and so on.  I'm imagining imminent tummy rumblies and a weekend strapped to the toilet.  I'm hoping the good things I ate yesterday will counteract the any nasties I may have consumed in the my water.

(It's Monday morning now.  So far good health reigns. We should know by noon whether the water is once again potable.  I hope so.  I don't really mind having to boil our water; it's the space the containers of boiled water consume that's beginning to wear thin.  My cluttered kitchen feels wildly crowded with these additions. I'm looking forward to returning to a customary level of chaos soon.)
