We ate dinner at Outback. The members of the 77th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry Inc. gathered to celebrate and remember the 150th anniversary of the forming of the original 77th. Many of us dressed in period attire. While we were eating it began to rain. Everyone was happy to see it. Though not nearly enough, at this point we are grateful for anything that we get. Bottom line for dinner: no water for food prep/cleanup.
I came home and took a bath in my period bathtub. I used 1-1/4 gallon. It seemed like less water than I usually use, but got the job done. If I had washed my hair the water usage would have been more. After my bath Russ and I carried the tub outside and dumped it on the one tree that seems to be faring the worst in the drought.
Recap for the day:
I prepared one meal at home. My actual water usage is as follows:
Brushing my teeth: 1-1/4 cup = .078 Gallons (g)
Drinking: 6C. = 0.375 g
Toilet (2 flushes) = 2-2/3 g
Washing Buttons = 1/4 g.
Bath = 1=1/4 g.
Dishes = .875 g
Total = 5.498 g.
