Yeah, totally understand. We lived without running water for the past two weeks. It took a good while before we figured out what the problem was, eventually it was the electrics in the pump. During that time, every day we collected nearby spring water with a bigger camping water tank in the car, bathed in the sea and poured water over us from a bowl outside. It's lovely to go through such phases and develop a different perspective and value for things, just as you described.
