Well, by golly, it turns out that the problem with the pump was not the electricity, but the pump. The pump is dead. Long live the pump. It is also far beneath the ground, which means that they had to break through the concrete and fish down for the thing as if they were ice fishing in the arctic. All this took a good long time and has left a gaping hole in the driveway and pipes and ropes hanging about and still no water in the house. Do you know how hard it is to function without water? No shower, no handwashing, dishes piled in the sink, no flushing toilet, no water for brushing teeth or cleaning dentures. Good God. Well, the neighbor was very kind to let me use his room to take a shower and such-like. But the pump itself is not scheduled to arrive until 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, which the builder told me would be more like 9, taking into account the Indonesian reckoning of time. Which I already know. So hell, I'm gonna go to sleep now and hope for the reestablishment of running water some time tomorrow. Good night!
