| Tomorrow's project: Installing the interior shelves |
Danny almost singlehandedly got our massively heavy medicine chest up on the bathroom wall. This is a huge life improvement, because it means we at last have someplace besides the floor or the bidet or the windowsill to put lotions, toothpaste, eye drops, and other necessities.
It also means we now have a decent-sized mirror in a good location. I'm scared that when I look into it tomorrow in daylight I'm going to see that cold-water sponge baths aren't keeping me as clean as I'd hoped.
Meanwhile, having gone to the town tax office yesterday and registered as a garbage creator, today I was able to walk over to the town dump and claim our official recycling containers.

An unlooked-for bonus was about 20 pounds of free bags for different categories of recycling. I was glad to get them, but I had to carry them home, a mile's walk that suddenly felt very, very long. As I trudged along, living without a car momentarily seemed ridiculously primitive. Sort of like living with no hot water.
Sorry, I don't mean to whine.

Living off the grid as did generations of ancestors! Well done.
Please keep telling about the hardships as well as the joys. I look forward to the stuff that doesn’t work out. We’re camping in Little House just now, where there’s always something going wrong every trip. Makes being home look so damn easy.
