Fading Fast...

My normally good attitude is fading fast!  We are on Day 5 of no water here at the Manuel house.  Our pipes froze on Saturday and now we are waiting for the BIG THAW.  Up until now, its been a bit of a challenge...flushing toilets with 5-gallon buckets, washing dishes with water heated on the stove, cooking with bottled water, etc.  But, without this crazy contraption that allows us to take hot showers, I probably would've lost it a long time ago...

Its not a pretty picture, but it works.  I haven't missed a shower...and the water is warm.  I totally take back all of eye-rolling that I did when the hubby purchased this *thing* for his hunting trips!  Its worth every penny!

Tomorrow is another day, and if our pipes haven't thawed out, I'll start collecting quarters for the laundry.
