Dilemmas

Let's see! Do we take Doxicyclene every day to prevent malaria and suffer the side effects or take our chances with the mosquitoes?
What's the best way to use our time between 2 and 6 p.m. when the electricity is off? And I thought the occasional two minute outages in Snowflake were bad!
Which of the 14 switches in each room (clustered on different walls) do we touch to turn on the light or ceiling fans (thank goodness for them except they run only when the power is on). No rhyme or reason to location and there are a dozen switches that seem not to affect anything.
How many times can we use the toilet before flushing because we won't be able to flush again until morning between 7 and 10? At least we have three to spread it around. Water is off the rest of the day. Kaspers just got a notice today that their drinking water will be available only 1/2 hour every other day. Only one faucet is connected to the filter which we turn on and then fill as many bottles as possible for the hour that we have--as of now. The rationing is spurred by current draught. Normally monsoons start in early or mid June. First rain of the season was the day we left Bangalore (21st of July) for Hyderabad. No rain since. So if you're praying for rain, include India, will you?
Can we really trust the bleach solution in which all vegetables and fruits, regardless of peelings, are soaked? Found some kind of creature and waste this morning in the cauliflower I had bought. Needless to say it found the trash.
Do we put mothballs in the drains and endure the smell or just hope the cockroaches will pick on someone else?
Should we walk for the exercise and risk lung problems from the pollution or death from the crazy drivers (there are no sidewalks; we're just another moving blob on the streets--lowest in the hierarchy) or take the autos which don't protect us from either? (Most distances are too far and we have to take the auto or taxi--the latter is more expensive and more scary actually.)
Should we go late to the weddings or be on time and furnish the music and talks. No joke! It happened to Kaspers the first month and we were warned by Sister Nichols.
Do we have FHE (two per week for two branches) at the church and worry about getting home at night (plenty of autos available but mosquitoes are out and despite what they tell us, the dark is worrisome) or have it at our apartment so that YSAs can come early and stay late or show up whenever they want in between destroying our privacy and using our humanitarian office time?
Temperatures are in the 90s with 75 percent humidity. Bill and I drip wherever we are. We don't have a choice on this one; it's just a fact.
Just thought I'd share!
