Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink
[cw: illness, thirst]
that sinking feeling when you start getting thirsty and it dawns on you that it's going to be at *least* four hours until you can take off your mask and get some water
also, that your schedule includes such things as:
*before* the part where you actually get to drink anything.
---
There were some delays, so it turned out to be more like five hours. It's 5.5 hours later, and I'm now decontaminated and have downed most of a litre of water (not *quite* all at once: one time I nauseated myself doing that, so I know better now).
---
(Okay, yes, strictly speaking I *could* have arranged for some drinking water sooner if I were desperate enough. But in the war between thirst and [the desire not to deal with attempting to arrange a safe drink while only partially decontaminated], the latter won.)

also, that your schedule includes such things as:
- Washing a bunch of dishes
- Mopping some floors
- Handling delicious juicy vegetables
- and oh yeah, fucking *showering*
