TAKING A SHOWER
There are several processes to implement for even the simplest tasks. For example: Getting ready in the morning, we flip the switch to heat the water, empty the bucket that is catching a leak, then wait a little while allowing the water to heat before taking a shower, then remember to use bottled water to brush your teeth, put the bucket back and be sure the shower door is closed or it will leak on the floor and be slippery. Oh yeah, remember to turn off the hot water heater.
BREAKFAST
1. Plug in the coffee maker and turn on the switch to heat water.
2. Pour bottled or filtered water into a pot. (If filtered, filter it the night before)
3. Turn on the gas and quickly strike a tiny thin match to light it. (Hope it lights and doesn't break. If so, try another - going through matches quickly).
4. Pour heated water into a wash pan, add a little bleach and dishwashing detergent.
5. Heat another pot of water to fill the pan and 2 others to fill the rinse pan.
(Bob likes to just pour the hot water over the cleaned dishes to rinse).
6. Stir the Cream of Wheat into the boiling water with a spoon. Need a whisk but don't have one so have to do our best to keep the lumps out. ( When we turn the heat down a little it often goes out, so light it again.
7. Make up powdered milk the night before with heated filtered water to dissolve then cool overnight
8. While cereal is cooking. Unplug the coffee pot and plug in the toaster to make toast
9. Cut up some fresh fruit, set the table, put out some juice to drink. Turn off the switches.
10. Dish up and breakfast is ready. Then you turn it over to the dishwasher. Hoping the water is cool enough to handle. Then start another "process".

When Stuart went on his mission to Hawaii, Brent counseled him, "You may not learn patience, but you will learn the futility of impatience!" That is so true!
We both are determined to relax and be patient . We're doing well so far! Our role models are the people. They are soooo patient, especially compared to all of us Americans. It's our desire to learn those same qualities.
We are sooo spoiled!
