Not that bad...

So we have been without hot water now for over 24 hours. This morning I thought, "okay I can do this...I can take a cold shower..." But, it was too cold! It was like frozen creek water no joke. So I thought okay I feel dirty I really am going to have to shower some how. So I started boiling water on the stove. 4 pots going full blast. As soon as one boiled I took it upstairs dumped it in the tub and came back down for more. This took about 30 min. I think and I lost count how many trips up and down. Then when the tub was 1/2 full I brought two back up pots and put them on the bathroom floor to rinse with. So I was able to take a warm bath and just dumped the two pots on my head at the end to rinse the shampoo out. And I have to say it wasn't that bad.

Oh I could never do that. I have issues when the water starts to get cold but is still bearable. Why don't you have not water?
