Is it dry season already

I have been waiting and waiting for dry season to arrive, mostly so my clothes will dry in less than 5 days, which is hard to do when it pours every single day. The last few days, however it hasn’t rained at all – precisely when I actually needed it to rain. A few days ago, I went to fill up my bucket with water from the tap outside and nothing came out but a few precious drops. Apparently there was something wrong with the pipes. Every day since, the technician said he was going to come, but in true African style, he didn’t come for 4 days. Thinking he would fix it sooner than later, the only thing I did to find water was to strategically station my 5 buckets around the yard to hopefully catch the rain that never came. Meanwhile, dishes were piling up and I started rationing my drinking water until I finally decided I needed to search for water. I armed myself with some of my buckets and set out to find a water source in the village. As I was wandering around I luckily bumped into the technician on his way to my house! I’ve never been so happy to someone.
