A bedtime routine I never dreamed I would have: draw two buckets of water from the well to heat up for hot bucket showers, hand-washing dishes, and filling the water purifier for drinking; tie up the food waste plastic bag and trash to put outside for the morning trash ladies; and hang up the load of laundry on a clothesline for drying under the bedroom fans at night. Then I cuddle with the kids in bed, listening to the monsoon rain and the night jungle noises from our open windows with the cool night air, feeling quite pioneer-ish and wholesome and safe.
