further evidence that i think God likes to laugh at me

k, so i've got an interview at Starbucks tomorrow and wanted to make a good impression, so i went n bought some hair dye so that I don't look like a crackhead that's been in the sun too long anymore.

On the way home, we see water gushing from the yard of some people a couple houses down. no big deal, sprinkler probably broke, right? ...wrong.

I get home, water the flowers to make sure it's not a water main busted or anything- cuz that would be just ridiculous.

proceed inside to begin the hair coloring process- it has to be dry to dye it, so i figured i'd just take my shower when i rinsed it out.

wrong again.

after the appropriate 25 minutes elapsed, i get nekkid and turn on the shower... to discover we have NO WATER. none. at all. a lonely drip plummetted the shower head, as i said "...you've GOT to be kidding me."

i try all the showers and sinks in the house. zilch.

i go outside to the water hose that, an hour ago, had been working perfectly. nuh uh.

there are bright worklights up the street- apparently, they've completely shut the water off on our street and possibly the whole neighborhood so they could fix the problem. thanks for the notification, city of houston!

i go inside- laughing quite hard, cuz there really isn't anything else to do at this point. my dear mother doesn't see why i'm laughing so hard- if i leave it on for much longer my hair will shrivel and die and i'll end up looking like a chemo baby- (shoutout to matt and lucky! :D) so what does she do? she, being the resourceful woman she is, thinks of the only place we've got a good amount of water stored- THE TOILET.

long story short... i used toilet water to rinse my hair out in order to keep it from falling out.

toilet water. on my hair. all over my head, neck... and face. mmmmmm mmm mm.

(we used the tank water- not from the germy bowl- makes it a liiiiittle less disgusting)

i'm beginning to think someone up there has it out for me, with all the ridiculous crap i've dealt with thus far. 

I'm going to go find some leave-in conditioner... let's hope the water gets turned back on so i can shower before my interview tomorrow. ....this is just ridic.
