Hygiene & Hair washing (and daily water use tally)

Day 10 already!

Just for those who may be curious, I am still maintaining a healthy level of personal hygiene. I'm not covering it up with perfume or anything. haha

I also haven't been running marathons, though. I've thought about jogging since it's getting nice out. I should do that and bathe afterwards and see if the same amount of water still does a good enough job...

  [Update: Originally, I had done the math to tally 3 day's worth of water consumption, and when a website glitch lost it all, I was so frustrated I didn't have the energy to do it all again. So here it is now.]
