What do you take for granted??

You truly never know how good you got it until you don't have it. WATER!!! Unlike the frequent power outages that are common here, water outages are completely different. We can live without power; there are candles and gas stoves, but with water, you need it so much more. You don't realize that you need it to take a shower, flush the toilet, wash your hands, wash clothes, clean dishes, cook and drink. My dilemma is that the water has been out since Friday -- FIVE DAYS! I have been taking "showers," but of a modified nature. It is annoying that no one really knows when it will come back and really why it is out. They say that they are working on the lines, but it came back briefly this morning, so who knows why it is out again tonight. Don't take your water for granted! We even have to filter it here before we can drink it. These are the times that I long to be back in the States. Pray for water!
