Water is Invaluable

"Owing to repair work on the service pipe, water supply will be cut off 

from 10 p.m. on January 21st to 10 a.m the next morning in these areas."

I found that notice in my mailbox after coming back to my apartment from an overseas trip. 

It was midnight and I was exhausted. 

I really wanted to take a bath -- by any means -- 

because I was not able to take a shower the previous day due to my flight schedule. 

I started to think of ways to make me feel refreshed and 

finally decided on wiping my body with a wet towel. 

I thought about boiling water and soaking the towel wet, 

but I only had two bottles of water in the refrigerator.

Since I did not want to use up all the precious water that I had, 

I wet the towel with just a little bit of cold water and heated it up in the microwave. 

I then used the warm towel to wipe my body! Don't you think it was a good idea?!

That night, I thought, what a great idea!, but after putting that idea into writing, 

it doesn't seem special at all. ^^;
