we havent had any hot water for almost a week now. i've been running about like a stinky homeless person, using people's bathrooms for a quick shower. honesty, never saw this coming. there are about 5 holes in the concrete ground by our building, with these massive blue water pipes sticking out of them. they've been there out in the open for a good 3 days now, it being a long weekend and all. gah...i really am close at the verge of tears with fustration this time. i chucked2 weeks worth of laundry into the washing machine just now and turned it on eagerly only to realized theres no water at all. nothing, nada. except for this nasty gurgling sound the pipes make. as if crying out in protest that i've turned it on when its got nothing to spit out of its rusty opening. what am i going to do? will i die from dehydration? there really is only a sip of hot water left in the kettle. will the neighbours find me all shrivelled up in my dingy futon, eyes with the life drained out of them, staring into space, mouth wide open as if crying out for that last drop of chlorined tap water to save my last breath. oh dear.

 

seriously tho, i think i really am in a bit of a crisis. although, have to keep positive. a big chunk of the world's population have no access to clean water, let alone running hot water and electricity, right? so i should take this a lessson on saving water and energy. what's a few days without soap between the toes when there are children dying from lack of access to clean water. yaaaaaaaaaa
