Water

Without water, you can't:

• wash dishes
• do laundry
• wash the floor
• shower
• boil noodles (i.e. make mac n cheese)
• wash hands
• flush
• make koolaid
• give your dogs and cats a drink

Without water, you can:

• let the dishes pile up (or use paper, but we're out)
• let the clothes pile up
• sweep the dirt and forget the mud
• miss a shower
• thaw and heat soup from the freezer
• use hand sanitizer and baby wipes (both cheap or free from target sales!)
• flush sparingly with the buckets of water you saved and vow that the next toilet will be water conserving
• open a 2liter of soda or drink from the 4 gallons of milk in the fridge (and my family thought I was silly when I stocked up on the sale last week!)
• let the animals eat snow

How do I know all this? Our well pump was out for almost 2 days. It's now fixed, the house is a bit cleaner, and we'll all shower today.

Thank you, Lord, for water!
