My building needs to shut off all water next week for one day, from 8am to 5pm. They are doing this to enable some repairs of the plumbing system. They have done this before, when I was also working from home.
Not having water all day while you work from home means you need to plan out your day. I guess it makes sense to do attempt to do all the water-related things for the day before it’s shut off in the morning. That means brushing your teeth, pooping, showering, and so forth. The problem is I don’t get up until around 10am on most workdays.
If I poop while the water is shut off, I can time it so that there’s gonna be enough water in the tank for one full flush. After that, there’s gonna be nothing. If I just pee for the rest of the day, that should be fine. If my body decides it needs to poop again, well that poop is gonna sit in the bowl all day until 5pm.
For drinking water, I have a hot water dispenser, so that will last me all day and then some. Beyond that, I don’t need to do my dishes during the day. Washing my hands though will be a problem. As I mentioned, I’ll get one full flush after a poop, but what about my poopy hands? I have wet wipes that I can use or perhaps I can fill a jug of water the night before and use that as my cleansing water.
It’ll be a hassle next week but I’ll adapt and survive.
