for one thing, now I realize.
I had a student call up and apologize for missing class today, but she has the stomach virus that's going around (There is one making the rounds of day car/primary school - so anyone with young children at home has a chance of being exposed).
I realized after she called that there was something worse than coping with having no water. And that would be having a stomach virus and coping with having no water.
I just need to stay healthy at least until tomorrow afternoon, if all goes as it should, and I will be in the clear.
I am going to take a very long very hot shower when I get water back. I keep imagining that I stink. I don't think I do in a noticeable way but I don't feel as cleaned up as I normally do...

Does your school have an athletic department? If so, couldn't you take a shower in the ladies' locker room? Another alternative would be a little more off the wall ... a truck stop. If there's a truck stop in the area, it will have a shower room and for a minimum number of dollars, you can get a shower there.
I think rather than worry about washing dishes, I would have jumped on the chance to eat out ... in restaurants or tea shops, not fast food places.
It has occurred to me to wonder if your home owner's insurance would have paid for you to stay in a motel while you didn't have water. Kind of late to be thinking about that but it might be worth checking just in case the repairs take longer than you anticipate.
