Changing Lanes Challenge: Week 13 & 14

location: Chicago
mood: accomplished accomplished

The last two weeks have been so crazy, with my travels to Louisville and back, the blackouts, the shortage, the hurricane, just everything that I've been more in survival mode then posting mode. But, even in these dark times, we need some fresh ideas and encouragement, so I'm back.  Things are getting worse by the week, but together, we can work together to make it through and adapt!

The past two weeks I've been taking shorter showers to conserve water and hot water heat. I'll admit, I haven't made the switch to cold showers yet, but I have turned down my hot water heat.  I've been taking an egg timer into the bathroom and setting it for 10 minutes. I've made it kind of into a game to see how fast I can get in and out of the shower.  Also, I turn the water off while I'm sudsing up my hair or shaving my legs, no need to have all that water run for no reason.





I can't wait to here what things you've changed in the past few weeks :)

  [info]bodi_lane has been riding in the mud, how fun! "Now that's something here in coastal California; people don't seem to know about mudguards. I ride my bike a lot in the rain because I'm fitted with fat mudguards (well and also because I grew up in old blighty where if you didn't ride when it was raining you might as well bury your bike)."

Of course, like always, keep sending me your ideas with via LJ, email (fallingintosin@gmail) or in the IRC chat. See you next week and stay safe!

Hooray for getting back safely and for leaving a drop spot. In a different time I could have gone up there and picked it up.

I'll keep popping in to IRC when I can.

I feel like I haven't talked to you in forever, things have been busy for me, so I haven't got into chat as much as I'd like :/

My latest change is that I replaced my old refrigerator with a new energy-efficient model. It will be delivered tomorrow!
