It’s an exciting day here at Casa de Jess. Our next-door neighbor had a party last night, and one of the guests broke the water main while driving through her yard to park — flooding the street and leaving both our houses without running water in the process. It looks like nobody can get out to repair the break until tomorrow morning at the earliest. So, until then, we’re living with no water. Oh, irony of ironies — if only there were some way for me to put my years of scholarly research on water scarcity to work!
I honestly can’t remember the last time I went an entire day without a shower. I’m almost certain it’s been at least a decade. Worse still, I have to teach in the morning. It may be time to start calling around to see if any of my friends will let me come over and shower at their place sometime around sunrise tomorrow.
I know, I know — I’m such a wimp.

Ugh! This happened to me a few weeks ago. On a Saturday morning, I found that I had no running water and called the water company. They told me that the main was broken and that it would take 48 hours to fix! No shower. No toilet. And, I had tickets to a fancy black tie affair. Of course, it was fixed in time for me to clean up for work on Monday.
