Monday was a good day for the most part, Chrissy got a new Carhartt jacket that shes been wanting, we found some great stuff at the transfer site and generally just had a good time all day. We did however have to do laundry which has become one of our least favorite aspects of living without running water. I guess that its not really even that we don't have water, its that Fairbanks doesn't have a laundromat (that we've found yet) that is reasonably priced and has working machines. What we have is bad and worse from what I can tell. We spent nearly $40.00 to wash 4 loads of laundry, and partially dry them. By the time the money ran out, so had the time and they were closing so we packed it up and set up a line outside on the porch. Hopefully we'll have another bright sunny day today and they will all dry. Last night we stayed up to watch the lunar eclipse, it was sort of lackluster compared to what I remember from grade school, but I think that those memories may have been of solar eclipses, not sure. But as a side bonus, being out in the dark, cold night we noticed the Northern Lights dancing overhead. Its been a long time since I had seen them, and even though they weren't that bright (too close to city lights) it was really cool to see them.
Chrissy took a few photos of the eclipse, so I'm sure she'll post them on here later today.
64 and sunny, headed to work.
