Hi. The generator has been broken in the village for about 2 months now. So no electricity has been pretty cool. I switched to candles after my lantern busted and I think I like it better. They don't smell and I like playing with open flames so it's win/win. Something that has been kind of a bum out is no water. A new water source is being piped into the village right now and about 5 days ago running water ceased flowing through the taps. Instead of just jumping into the river to bath I have been taking bucket showers with the water from my filter. I have nothing against the river, I just don't have biodegradable soaps here. There's already pig guts and horse terds floating around, I should try not to make it worse. My filtered water will run out in a day so I hope when I get back to the village the problem will be fixed.
2 weeks ago I started farming harder than I have before. I borrowed a digging fork and scratched three plots for my watermelons, chinese cabbage, and peppers. On day two I got a sunburn on my back. On day three I decided I was never gonna get a proper tan if I didn't get as much sun as possible. On day 4 I had sun blisters. I spent 3 or 4 days laying on my floor on my stomach trying not to move. With any luck something will grow. I have a feeling that my efforts will just be scorched by the sun.
Ashley will be here this month...in just over 2 weeks. I am ever so excited!! I have no idea what we will do because neither one of us will have money to spend. I think we'd both be happy just laying around and looking longingly into each others eyes. I guess we could give my cat a bath too.
I dont have much news to relay back home. Oh! I dont know if I thanked Aunt Donna and Uncle Tome for their last letter (and gift). Thank you very much. I get kind of backed up in my e-mails and what not and never remember what I say to whom. So Thank you! And FIY, first class mail does not get here any faster so save your money. Mail has been WICKED slow the last month. I guess its becuse of the holidays but things are taking close to a month to reach me, if not more. Ok BYE!
