Got up this morning and had a shower. Not the typical shower that we would normally have! You stand in the small shower room with a drum filled with water, and a curtain over the entrance way. You then dump cold water over yourself using a small bucket.

I keep hearing that to conserve water one should limit their showers to 5 minutes. I had no idea how long I take, so I brought my kitchen timer along with me and set it to 5 minutes. I even washed my hair - something I do about every other...
- What A Day!
I was having a nice leisurely morning, after an unsettling night, and decided to take a long, slow shower. I had just applied a big blob of shampoo and had my hair good and soapy when the water went off. Too late I remembered receiving a notice...
