Okie Dig can't get out until tomorrow. IF they get out - and I'm not even willing to believe they will - the plumber will start work Friday morning. And HOPEFULLY be done Friday afternoon if there are no hangups.
I'm gonna have to find some way to wash my hair. Either go down to church and use the big sinks there, or buy a couple more gallons of water, or haul my shampoo over here and wash in a lab sink.
It doesn't help that I'm achy and hivey and my allergies are bad and I'm having pain as a result of the change in the weather (and other, uh, regularly-scheduled bodily occurrences). I'd LOVE to be able to take a warm shower tonight but I see that is not going to happen. Nor will it happen tomorrow night. Ugh.

I could probably deal with this with better grace if I weren't so achy, and if I wasn't having allergy-induced sinus problems making me feel like I hadn't slept last night.
Also, meals are kind of an issue when it's hard to wash plates, silverware, and pots and pans. And for reasons of both economy and health (restaurant food has more salt than I really want to eat), eating dinners out isn't really an option.
I guess I need to go back and re-read a couple of the chapters in M.F.K. Fisher's "How to Cook a Wolf" (which was about coping with WWII era privations.)

I vote you hit a local salon and have them wash your hair. It'll be clean and the bit of pampering will possibly raise your spirits a bit too.
Barbershop is a good suggestion. Another one is going to to sports club: they have showers and even fens. If you are not a member, clubs periodically give out free guest passes - that's an option to consider.
