It’s 2am as I write this.

I tried going to bed early, so I could get an early start on work outside, before things got hot again.  Of course, everything seemed to conspire to keep me awake.

Which, I suppose, turned out to be a good thing.

It eventually soaking into my sleep deprived, frustrated brain, that I was hearing the septic pump running.

And it wasn’t turning off.

I almost dozed off, but was awakened again, and it was still running.

So down to the basement it went to check.  The filter had no liquid in it.  It was running dry. 

I did the usual routine; shut off the pump manually, prime the filter, turn it on again… then off again, when the filter just emptied, but the pump kept running.

*sigh*

Why would a new pill switch conk out so quickly?

Tomorrow… er… later today… I  will call the septic guy again, and let him know.

Until then, I hope to get at least a few hours of sleep!
