So, I made it to Monroe, LA last week. I am still waiting on my furniture to catch up (tomorrow is what I have been promised).
1. Its hot. And humid. And HOT.
2. People are very polite, and I really like it. I had forgotten what it is like to have every one say please, thank you and you're welcome.
3. The water tastes funny. Almost sweet.
4. Even soap with EDTA isn't washing off. No matter how hard I rinse, I still feel like I could lather up...
5. There is a funny smell in the air. It isn't refineries or anything. I guess it is the bayou.
6. It is hot and humid. I sweat walking to my car - not 30 feet from my front door.
7. I love stained concrete floors. they are so much cooler than carpet.
8. There is a fried chicken place at just about every corner.
9. Did I mention how hot and humid it is?
So to combat the funny water taste I just signed up for a water cooler. I chose distilled water, since I have to use it in my cpap, and once I start making soap here. It will also be better for my coffee maker and such.
I will have to experiment with chelators. Maybe the bars from the FO blend swap don't have enough in them. Or maybe sodium citrate will work better.
All in all I think things will be ok. As soon as I get my bed here so I am not on an air mattress. haha
