Ok, maybe it IS a bit self-serving, using your misfortune as my excuse from doing something I already hate, but...what are friends for?! ;) Hang in there, Catherine!

I've heard all about this in the news and it just makes me sad. It's amazing how much we rely on water for things.

I read about this while I was in Texas. I'm sorry you've had to go without water. It's amazing how much of our lives depend upon the simplicities of running water and electricity. At least electricity doesn't get salmonella, eh? - Sarah www.imaginarybinky.com Bleah! I read about this while I was in Texas. I’m sorry you’ve had to go without water.

The water is still uningestible. (is that a word?) But, yes, out with the toothbrushes, Simplypink. Not to mention that freezer full of ice. And that pitcher of lemonade I had just made. And then there's all that clothes I needed to rewash... the irritations go on and on... but I do believe this is all much better than a hurricane!

I feel for you. We have hurricanes and end up with icky water but at least it's not salmonella water. You are welcome to come shower here. :) Hang in there!

Here's some vicarious wishes sent your way. :-) I stayed in my nice, warm shower an extra few minutes just for you this morning, Catherine. Here’s some vicarious wishes sent your way. :-)

We've actually moved up to stage 2 since I wrote this, which means we can start to do other things now such as washing our clothes. But still, no drinking or brushing or cooking. Or mopping. (ok, I made that last one up.) You have no idea how much your well wishes and empathy mean. Thank you all so very much!! Nobody’s really sure, Candace.

And I still can't believe that this happened, and how! Insanity. On the bright side, with the amount of chlorine whizzing through your pipes, you're not going to need to disinfect your toilets for awhile. ;) I can’t imagine how you all are making it down there.
