Pipe Fiasco and Successful e-Filing

Last night at about 9:30p.m., we heard a loud sound coming from the bathroom in our master bedroom.  It sounded like a splurge of water, no…more like a waterfall.  A waterfall in our bathroom? 

NOOoooooo…actually the water pipe connecting to our sink had done its time.  There was water everywhere in the bathroom, and there was nothing else we could do except to turn off the main water faucet, which caused our entire house to be water-less.  Thank goodness Ethan and I had already had our shower, but that left poor Pete who was yearning for that shower of his… Oh, what one would give for water! So Pete called our plumber to see if he could come by and replace the pipe.  Unfortunatelyour plumber, who stays in Butterworth, was not available that night and also the next day…. Bummer! Luckily he was able to recommend his friend to come instead.

After a good 30 minutes of no-water later, the plumber arrived and fixed the pipe.  It was done in a jiffy, much to our relief as…errrmmm…. Ethan had already pooed 😛 

Anyway, here’s a glimpse of our spankin’ brand new pipe …

And do you know how we celebrated the arrival of the new pipe?  We submitted our tax returns last night! There, job’s done!  All done through e-filing, and I must say that despite the initial setback I faced on getting an erroneous e-PIN, and potentially being non-existent, I was pretty impressed with the experience of submitting my returns online.  All done in the comfort of my home.
