Soooo, one major thing I'm having to get used to these days is pumping the toilet (which is how you 'flush' it). I find myself laughing oftentimes, even in the middle of the night at how ridiculous it must look! It goes something like this: You wake in the middle of the night having to pee....grrreat! You roll out of bed (about a foot from the floor), and walk the 6 steps to the bathroom. You unlatch the seat/shelf (that goes down over the toilet,) take off the cat food bowl and put it in the floor in front of the litter box (which is directly in front of the toilet)swing the seat/shelf up and latch it to the eyelet in the wall, open the toilet lid,sit (with your legs kinda swept to the right bc the cat little box is in front of you) pee, use as little T-paper as possible, squirt sanitizer on your hands, then grab this pump lever thingy to the right of the toilet and (I'm laughing as I write this!) pulling it out about 10 inches, pump it 8 or 9 times pretty fast (and it has resistance!so hopefully I'm building muscle as well) until everything flushes through. Put the lid back down, unlatch the shelf and put it back down, put the cat food bowl back on the shelf, wash your hands, and back to bed you go! It's kinda fun to be able to laugh about something in the middle of the night AND just think how many more calories I burn these days going to the bathroom...yeah!
PS, I added a pic since I figured most people would be going "Huh?" I know it was a lot to write about going to the bathroom and hopefully I didn't offend anyone by sharing. Ha!
Hopefully this will be my last post about any bodily fluids (bc i realize the last one was also about it ): sorry!) Happy Sailing! Jeni
