That just sounds nasty by just about every number. Hope you get your water pressure back soon.

Gee, all the fun of a hurricane w/o the actual natural disaster or the days off. :)
Feel free to come over and borrow my shower and a/c if you need to. We have plenty of both.

Thanks MXX - Water is now back on and the AC is supposedly being fixed today...in any case, we're taking off this weekend so if it's still fluky until Monday we don't really care. The offer is much appreciated though.
