    I'm so glad that I saved couple gallons of water today. 
    Before starting the shower, I placed a bucket in the tub, so there it's no water waste while it's heating up. Then that water in the bucket can be used to flush your toilet!  :) I also left the bucket and I told my family to start doing this. It is pretty easy! I know that it's a one-time challenge, but I feel like getting use to doing this! every day!
