Life up here has many challenges. Usually they are taken in stride, but some days you just want to scream and take the first plane home...
It has been a week of overnight blizzards. Lots of wind and snow, but gone by morning leaving you walking into a 70-80 km west wind. BRRRRRR! Then the Honda didn't want to start. I finally got it going and it ran out of gas. Got it stuck repeatedly in the couple of feet of new snow from last night. The water machine at the Northern has been broken and we are on our last couple of cups before the dreaded tap water must be used. And today, our sewer pipe broke. They only knew it was going for the last two weeks, but hey, why be proactive?
The place smells like an outhouse. We have no water. No toilet. No way to wash dishes. Nothing to drink. No toilet. No way to get clean. No toilet. And the earliest they can hope to fix it is Monday. And did I mention we have no toilet? Oh HUZZAH!!!!
Colour me a washed-out winter blue today.
TTFN.
