Lost sleep, breaking and entering for FBI

Last night was even shorter than Saturday night. On Saturday night we lost one hour because of Daylight Saving’s Time; which I still contend is an outdated, unproductive and inconvenient waste of effort on a national level. Anyway we got in later than usual from FBI because Kaylen was not able to get into the classroom at the church where the TV we use was locked up.

Even though several of us tried various methods of opening the door, credit cards wedged into the latch, picking the lock (only the two ladies that play the organ and piano tried that) and oiling the uncooperative key, nothing worked. Finally someone showed up with another key and jammed it pretty forcefully into the lock and got the door opened. We shortened breaks and plugged through the three hours and were finally home a little after 10pm.

Prior to class I took Mama and Victoria to Peggy’s house so they could take proper showers. We are still waiting on the septic system to be installed. I lowered the tank level enough to be functional for several more days – especially since it is just me Mama and Victoria, but it will be nice to finally get the bathrooms and laundry back in service without the constant worry.

Grandma and Grandpa made it to West Virginia safely but they were held up on the second day by a flat tire. I do not know exactly what happened but I heard that they ran over something in the road which cut the nearly new tire open. I do not know if Grandpa had a spare or not but that seems to have held them up for several hours while they replaced the ruined tire.

Victoria got tires on her car yesterday. Grandpa had ordered them last week but they did not come in until yesterday. I called Mama to tell her that the man doing the septic was at the house to get the information he needed to apply for the permit. She had to turn around and backtrack to the house because she was following Victoria to the tire shop so the two of them could do some shopping while Victoria’s car was being fixed. They still managed to get their shopping done.

Tomorrow is going to be the first dry, sunny day we have had in several weeks. I am hoping the septic system redo gets started tomorrow.
