I'm hoooooooooome!
On this day -- June 1, 2016 -- at 3:12 pm EDT, I entered my apartment. I have spent some time unpacking, tossing out the food items that are past their expiration date, taking some medication, and receiving a reminder when I took a sip of water to wash the pills down...namely, my apartment is located in the part of town that gets its water from the Ohio River.
BLEEEEEAAAAAACCCKKK!!!
IT TASTES HORRIBLE!!! I hope I can re-acquire a taste for the stuff soon....

Hey, I grew up on Ohio River water.
Wait a minute - so that's the problem!
Glad you're home, EW!

Thanks, gang! Right now I'm feeling tired (packing, unpacking, wheeling myself around like a chicken with its head cut off...) and feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the stuff I have to do in the next couple of days!

Woohoo! Maybe celebrate by getting a water filter? 
Or one of those water filter pitchers?

Welcome home! 
The water where I live sucks also... I try to take any pills with anything besides water...
Maybe get one of those Zero water pitchers? They're supposed to be the best.

I'm seriously considering getting some sort of filter...the kicker about this situation is that I was used to the taste before I left for the charcot surgery last April...

I'm glad you're home, EW! In comparison, the water is a small problem to deal with.

Welcome back home EW - and get yourself a water filter ASAP!
I also came back home from Greece this week, and was immediately reminded -- not of dodgy water, but of the horrible weather in Brussels where it's cold and damp and foggy and wet... Hopefully at least you've got some sunshine!

Yes but you'd like to get back to normal and they spoiled you one the water.

I don't know that that's a bad thing... I used to work in a nursing home and I have to say, their water was better than the crap coming out of the pipes at my house

Yeah, he kept the place safe. But he wasn't expecting what I brought home with me! (I'll post pictures later.)
