Chisasibi Week Twelve: Day 1: Sept 23: The Water Shortage and The Big Shut Down

Got up at 7 am and had a shower. Ate some yogurt with rice crispies and some bread with cream cheese. I decided I would buy my lunch at the take-out place in the mall, because the fridge was so packed with food I was very thrilled about, and I didn't feel like scroungiung around.

At work, I started by scanning the ISBN numbers on a whole bunch of books (finally! more work!), and I was planning to finish the magazines in the afternoon, but at 10am we where told to go home because they were closing the school. Now, the reason for this was because the resivoir was draining, (which ment there was a leak somewhere) so the town was now on a water shortage, and when that happens, all public bulidings must be closed due to safety reason. (eg. no fire sprinklers) We also learned that ONCE the leak is found and fixed (who knows how long that will take) it will then take 3 days for the resivoir to fill up again.

When I got home, I learned that Chisasibi's Got Talent(CGT) was also "postphoned" because, of course, we were going to be using a public space. I was also really lucky in regards that I had a shower that morning, and washed my sheets right before we heard on the radio that we weren't supposed to do laundry, or have shower, or use dishwasher, etc.

It was really hard on us that CGT got postphoned, we even thought we might have to cancel it! Luckily, while I was blogging (not this entery), some of the others in teh group went out with Pauline and sold the fuirt smoothy cups we had made, so they didn't go to waste and we were able to make some porfit even! I think....*shrugs*

But yeah, backtracking a little, on my way home from work I bought two butter trats at the general store (no raisins! >//<) and then when I got home, I blogged TEN enteries!!!! TEN!!!!!!! I am still three weeks behind though (I don't even know how that happened T.t) I also swept and cleaned both bathrooms before I sat down at the computer. We had crepes for lunch, some sweet, some savoury. Then I was really litless, and couldn't settle on naything to do, so I sat in the closet and texted Mom. (.......yes, I sat in a closet, it was actually very cozy XP)

We had cerpes again for dinner, and I made some snowflakes out of paper. Michelle and I noticed we were running low on the water we had quickly got that morning from the tape, so she and I took and pot and hiked dwon to the river, filled it, and hiked back carring it between the two of us. We also had a dog escort the inter way. XD BAck at the house, I put my sheets on my bed, then Michelle and I read "The Bride of the Water God" together. I remeber why I liked that one now >.<

THen I ate the last of the yogurt with cronflakes. XP
