Today I was able to scrap dishes before throwing them in the dishwasher and didn't ruin it because it was not full. I also connected with a friend who lives alone and was suffering from depressive thoughts.

Continuing to flush only when necessary but I ended up watching my dishes by hand instead of using the dishwasher. I did FaceTime my friends to talk about our days yesterday.

Today I started off FaceTiming my mother and sister to check in and see how their day was going. I failed at only flushing when necessary so far in my day but I have been away that my flushes were unnecessary. After eating lunch I also was able to scrape the leftovers off my plate rather than rising it off after when putting it in the dishwasher.

Today was a little difficult because right in the beginning of the day I flushed one the first time when I shouldn't have and started a trend where I flushed every time I used the toilet. I fix that bad habit toward the end of my day so it got better. I was also able to talk to my brother and cousin again over FaceTime to check-in and see what they were up to.

Things are still going good with the conservation of water. I am still flushing only when necessary and only using the dishwasher when it is absolutely necessary.

My challenges have been pretty successful. The only challenge I have not been able to do is buy water friendly beauty products because I am stocked on my personal ones as of right now. Having my own restroom has allowed me to minimize how often I flush the toilet, when pplicable. I was able to video chat with some of my coworkers this morning and catch up on how everyone is doing.

  Hi David!
  I’m regards to the toilet, I try to live by the motto “if it’s yellow let it mellow, if it’s brown flush it down”. Unfortunately my family does not agree, but I am glad that you’re able to conserve water that way!
