Running Water

Philippines
November 12, 2017 4:33am CST
Due to some pipes blowing off we haven’t had any running water since 10am. And it made me think how used I’ve become to having this comfort. It seems like something I take for granted but now that it’s not there it’s hard to function. And to think that I used to fetch water from a well when I was younger! Hmmmn...my husband is now fetching water for us, and I have no plans of helping him haul water from the well to our house...haha

Yes.We tend to realize the worth of something only when it is not around.....I have had water shortage experiences as well.....

It's a real inconvenience because the dishes won't wash themselves

We don't think about it until it happens. Hopefully it is fixed shortly

Yes, it was fixed shortly after my husband finished filling up all the water containers

Ha ha, its a good exercise for your husband and if you help him it will also be a good exercise for you. Yeah I have my own memories of fetching water in the spring.
