Did you ever stop to think of all the things you cannot do without water and electricity?  There's starting the day with a shower.  Then ironing, making a cup of coffee, electric tea kettle to warm water for a cup of tea, making toast, cooking an egg, watching TV, listening to the radio, watching the news, and a movie, doing laundry, moping the floor, turning on lights, using an electric fan, etc.  This is just the abreviated list.  I'm sure there's lots more if I would put my mind to it.  Like charging batteries for instances, or watching a sermon on youtube.  Those are all the things we didn't get to do today.  All day long.  So you get creative and think of other things to do.  Like reading.  And talking.  And eating cereal which does not have to be cooked.  Taking a nap.  The list is short, but they are all good things.  Life goes on even without electricity and water. And we really appreciate such luxuries when they come back on.
