Ok, so I’ve had diarrhea for 2.5 days now. I wasn’t planning on sharing such fine details in my blog but today the story got better and better and if I have to suffer so do you. Almost everyone else has had it by now, I was one of the few that lasted this long. Alright, don’t worry, I’ll make it quick.
So I wake up this morning and desperately have to go to the bathroom. Partially to brush my teeth and wash my face but I also really “had to go”. Just as I get to the bathroom my dad walks up to tell me that we have no water. No one knew why or for how long but there was absolutely no running water in the house. I thought no hot water was bad but now we didn’t have any. Luckily I had enough water in my nalgene bottle to brush my teeth. But I still “had to go”. Well, just before the water had turned off, my dad filled up the shower with a pool of water to use for bucket flushes. For those of you who haven’t had the fortune of flushing with a bucket here’s how it goes. You fill up a bucket with water and dump it into the toilet bowl. Repeat as many times as necessary. Number 1 is pretty easy, number 2 is a little tough, that inbetween stage….. it’s a little bit rough.
Ahhh, now if only I had water to wash off my hands afterwards…. J
