Jet lag continues to loom, thus late bedtimes, late rising, and naps are observed throughout the day. We decided today would be a free day. The Frenchies arrived in DC and made it to their new home. We figured out communication between our families which serves us well when we have questions about life in a new place.
In case anyone was wondering, the “off peak” electricity times in the village are 3:30-7am, 1-4pm, and 9-10pm. These are the times we try to use the washing machine, dishwasher and AC.
We load the clothes up the night before and set a delayed start time. In the morning we hang the clean wet clothes out to dry. We can use the dryer, however we are trying to live as Jill and Fred. When we use the dryer we have to be mindful that it collects water in a reservoir, under the drum, from the clothes and needs to be occasionally emptied. The dryer is not vented out of the house. Both appliances are in the garage.
