Days 22 - 24

I lasted 5 days without water. By Friday night my brain was parched, my lips were stuck, and I was short tempered. That night I still hadn't heard back from this editor so I thought, "Well, I can't continue on this regime of no juice or water just to please one editor," and downed two glasses of water. A friend informed me the next day that a human cannot go more than 7 days without water, without severe consequences to the body. It's good to know what our limits are. I guess I had to find out the hard way.

I don't know what kind of water supplies are being made available to the refugees in Darfur. How can they fight off dysentery and malaria when they don't even get enough water!
