Our first day as Texans

We didn’t sleep much last night. We left our pillows at home for people to use who are staying in our house while we’re gone. They are king sized for our bed and we’re sleeping in a queen size here so we figured they wouldn’t fit. So last night James and I used travel pillows. Hah! The kids use them and don’t complain but they just don’t support an adult head and neck. Then, when we took our emergency trip to Walmart last night we forgot pillows. Thank God for coffee!

The water supply has, apparently been an issue down here. This morning I got in the shower and started getting clean. I had just put the conditioner in when there was suddenly no water! No big deal. I could wash myself without water. However rinsing was going to be a slight issue very soon! So I finished up all I could without water and tried the water again. By then a slight trickle was coming out. It was enough to rinse the soap off. By the time that was done, enough was coming out (cold water, mind you! Thankfully it is summer and hot!) to rinse the conditioner out of my hair. Ah, some more GMT!

This afternoon, after class, we tackled the pile of containers in the livingroom. We’ve pretty much got everything put away and cleaned like we need it to be. James rearranged the furniture in the livingroom so we could fit some of the things we brought. I also was able to wash some things that needed it in the bathroom and make it feel like we live here. We encountered some mouse droppings as we cleaned up so we could be in for some surprises come winter!
