Deodorant Only Goes So Far

So, all my family and friends, go ahead and Google the city where I live and the word "car wash" and you'll see what we're up against here today.

So for nearly 24 hours now, we've not used water at all. We can't wash dishes, do the laundry, let alone drink or bathe.

But since there's no water, there's no school. And all those people working in restaurants are off today as well. The Tim Hortons are open but aren't selling coffee or tea. I just made my morning cuppa joe with bottled water and it was a-okay.

Luckily for us, the husband gets water delivered to the office every other Monday morning and, voila, he's received six big honkin' jugs yesterday. He handed them out to the staff when I called with the news and they all went across the street to the Shoppers Drug Mart to buy the last bottles of Purell.

All the same, it was pandemonium at the stores. People were clamouring for water. The variety shops were taking this opportunity to sell a flat of bottled water (what, like 15 750 ml bottles) for $10 each. Ca-ching!

And it looks like the "no water" thing is going to continue for another 24 hours at least until they flush everything out.

We don't have it so bad, really.
