Vil Life and Hot Springs

    Ok, so many of you have been asking "where do you live" or "whats your house look like".  Glad to say that Im answering your question, because heres a snipet of my life in the vil.      Typically, Im up by 6 am - but I try to shove Mojo back to sleep for another half hour/hour.  Start my fire, get some water boiling, while Im waiting Ill sweep the hut, put my plants outside, water them, feed Mojo, sit around for 10 mins or more until the waters kinda hottish.  Make some oatmeal and tea, and play with Mojo.
