The Dirtiter You Get the Cleaner You Feel

I’ve never been more thankful for running water than this weekend. The water went out on Thursday night and did not come back on till Sunday afternoon. This would not have been a big deal at all, but unfortunately I was sick at the time. So we were not able to shower or flush toilets. Drinking water was okay because I ended up buying some because since I had been sick I did not want to take a chance with just boiling water, I wanted to make sure that it was really clean. At home I would never go a week without showering, or wear clothing more than one day. I thought it would be a little difficult for me over here with shortages on water, but I am fitting in just fine! My hair is actually healthier and growing faster, since I am not washing it everyday. I forget about all the little things at home that I took for granted. Things like being able to flush a toilet, take a shower, and even the lights. They are things that I thought were necessities, but I am starting to learn how to live with out them. It is going to be so strange going home and having electricity everyday and water.
