I should have figured
that first night in the bath
When the water came out hot,
but smelling of eggs.
It smelled rotten,
as the temperature slowly rose,
But the pipes hadn't been used in a while,
So who was I to know?
Then there were the bottles,
5 gallons each,
lined up on the kitchen wall,
7 layers deep.
The next morning I noticed a sign,
Above the kitchen sink,
Saying that what came out of the faucet,
Was not safe to eat or drink.
The water in my house is apparently loaded with sulfides, which makes it smell super pleasant. There's also a lovely hard water stain in both my toilet and sink that I have tried and tried to scrub at with toilet cleaner, scrubbing bubbles, bleach, and vinegar. None of those, mixed with a fair quantity of elbow grease, has removed the water marks. Eh, I'm only here for 4 months, what does it matter?
On the plus side, though my hair is very greasy (gotta figure out how to mix new age shampoo and conditioner with old water filters) my skin is super soft. Benefits of basically living in a spa.
