Water in my glass; air in my pipes

So they finally processed my insurance license and issued it Monday. Thus I've actually been working this week. Well sort of. I'm off to a rather slow start, but I hear that's typical. Still a bit of a downer though. Still I shan't give up! (nor shall I quit using archaic grammer)
Mostly this week I've been struggling to get on some type of schedule that makes more sense. I guess I'm a little bit closer, but I'm just fighting my natural inclinations to stay up until the early morning and then sleep until the early afternoon. It's not a pattern I've gotten in from all my time off, it's a pattern I've been in since I was born.
Anyway my plan for today was to get up at 8:30 and go into the office all day and work there where'd they'd be less distractions and more people to offer advice/tips. (I'm technically "self-employed" so I set my own hours, and can work completely from home if I want to - well there's one meeting a week that I'm "strongly encouraged" to attend but anyway) So anyway I got up at 10:30 ( 
), and went to have a shower. The thing about showers though is that one of their primary components is water. Without water you're just standing their naked rubbing thick, gooy, liquids all over yourself. 
My shower was lacking in water 
. My bathroom sink was similarly afflicted, as was my toilet. No surprise of course given their close proximity; if one catches an ailment the other's bound to get a bit sick too. The real shocker, however, was that my kitchen sink had also contracted this rampant case of plumbing dehydration. :wacko:
A quick call to the management in my apartment complex confirmed what I was already strongly suspicious of: the water's off. Apparently it'll remain off until about 4:30 while they do who knows what. In the mean time I can't have my shower, or even brush my teeth 
. The thing about me is I'm kind of a stickler for personal hygiene. On a typical day I take between 2-4 showers/baths, and brush my teeth 3-5 times. Sounds a bit excessive I know, but it's because I like to do both activities morning and night ..err when I wake up and go to sleep 
, and then again each time I exercise or go for a run/walk. I also have a tendency to let my distracted side take over at least once or twice when I go to the bathroom for routine purposes and before I know what's happened I've brushed my teeth. So anyway being waterless is quite a sucky predicament for me to be in.
I just feel too icky to go out, and obviously it would be exceedingly stupid to go for a run or something when I can't shower or bath upon my return. I guess I could work a bit now from here, but the evening is actually the peak the time to do it anyway. My mouth feels to grungy to to eat anything...plus I couldn't brush my teeth after, and it would have to be prepared waterfree...SO food consumption's out. I might read a bit, but chances are I'll opt to partake in one of the best methods known for passing the time (minds OUT of the gutter,,,I'd want a shower after that :king: ): I'm going to go back to sleep for awhile. Sure it'll screw up what little progress I'd made realigning my schedule but whatever.
On the bright side since I literally stockpile bottled/jugged water in my pantry I've got plenty to drink. So at least I won't catch the dehydration bug. Anyway take care and have a terrific day everyone!
