Did I mention my shower issue yet?

Per the title of this blog, 100 miles is easy (I have logged 49 thus far) and I though I have questioned working up to doing 100 consecutive pushups, I have completed two weeks of the program and did 226 pushups this week. True there were done in sets, with rests, but hey, 226 in one week.
But all of this exercise is NOT easy with my showering situation!
Let me explain. At Thanksgiving we had an issue! Following Thanksgiving we put in a new septic tank to solve said issue. You would think that would solve all the issues.
Ah, but not if you have a husband who would like to put in a separate gray water tank! And it is now winter with frozen ground.
Currently, all household members shower with a large bucket in the tub to catch the tap and shower water (let's say 95% of it). There's also a showerhead shut-off so as not to waste water during soaping up or shampooing. Rinse cycles are to be as fast as possible. My husband empties the shower bucket on a regular basis. Oh there's a small catch-bucket in the sink too for toothbrushing and shaving sessions.
Don't even get me started on what it is like to only wash one's hair (esp. my daughter's mane of red hair) over the tub catch-all bucket!
This water-conservation issue extends to the laundry!
For the time being, washing is taking place off-site at the Manchester laundromat. I wonder if my walking pals are noticing the repeat usage of exerciseware. Thank goodness for out-of-doors exercise!
My husband promises that there is light at the end of the tunnel with regard to the laundry situation. New washing machine some time ... soon. Can I have that in writing please?!
