We got underway about 10:30 and arrived in MD around noon. I listen to the Delaware traffic station and they had two closings. Both were roads I usually take. One was at Interstate 95 and Rte. 13. I’m not sure where that was as the two roads intersect several times. The other was rte 72 near Howell School. I take that road to cross from rte 13 to rte 896. I decided to take Interstate 96 to 896. I wasn’t sure if they had finished the construction there or not. I found that the northbound ramp was closed. Southbound was OK. I’ll have to go home a different way. It’s strange they never mentioned the southbound ramp from 896 to 95 was closed.
It was hot when I got here. I unloaded the car, walked Danny and came in to make some lunch. I had no water. I did turn it on and filled Danny’s bowl. I went across the street to a neighbor and he said there was a problem at the pump house and the water was turned off. It was supposed to be for 45 minutes but Bill said it will probably be more like two hours. I two 3 liter bottles of water and a gallon and a half wine bottle filled with water so I wasn’t too concerned. I had been looking forward to getting a shower though. I sweated in the heat when I was unpacking.
I had bought a 96 inch shower hose at the hardware store in Vineland so I installed it in the walk-in shower. I wanted a hose long enough to reach Danny so I could hose him down when I gave him his bath or in this case, his shower. The water came on soon after I installed the hose.
I went through the mail and circulars and stayed in the air-conditioning. I brought a garden hose so I could water my plants but the outdoor spigot is leaking like a sieve especially when I attach the hose. It was too late to go to the hardware store in Elkton. I’ll have to go on Monday or Tuesday. I hope it’s a matter of changing the washers and won’t involve having to get a plumber.
I watched some more of Babylon 5 tonight. When I took Danny out at 8pm, he wanted nothing to do with going out in the heat. He went in the yard and ran back up the steps to the house. I can’t blame him. I don’t like being out in the heat either.
My friend Dottie called. She and her sister, Rose are going to Dover on Monday or Tuesday. I said I’d like to go but I’m not sure how long we will be away or what I should do with Danny. I’ll have to discuss it with her tomorrow.
