spent the day doing things around the house…

longest job involved the hot tub... ran some chemicals through, and then had to wait for an hour and run the pump again… 

eventually was able to drain it…

remembered to take a picture as it began draining… takes a couple of hours to empty completely…

then I had to find the shop vac, which I have never used, and vacuum out all the last bits of crud and water from the bottom… that was a process… you’d think it would dump out water in a simple manner, like maybe push a reverse button, but no, you have to take off the top and then dump it… got a wet sandal in the process… didn’t take any pictures…

now to the filling portion… remembered the pic again, lol…

takes over an hour to fill and while I was doing that I got out Barbie and cooked a steak and some zuchinni…

this little guy was having a snack at the same time…

new to the neighbourhood, we haven’t had chipmunks around for years… goes right past my feet but didn’t want me to get too close to take a pic… apparently shy, lol…

steak was delicious, not sure how I felt about the zuchinni, but I did eat it… finished supper with salad and a few tiny new potatoes with dill…

all of the above jobs used to be taken care of by my beloved… some are easier than others and I continue to learn things… 

those big girl pants…
