got up early, put in my contacts, put on my swimsuit, made sure my swim bag had everything needed in it… and headed to the pool with my buddy…
got there just in time… only to learn all classes had been cancelled this week because of spring break, lol…
this was the second time we’ve been to a Tuesday class… the first time we arrived late because we thought the start time was fifteen minutes later than it actually was… and this time the class was cancelled… I don’t think Tuesdays are our day, lol…
when I got home the good news was that I didn’t need to hang anything up to dry;-)…
for the last few weeks I’ve been working on getting the condos (fish tanks), ready for the move from garden to house…
when the fish moved outdoors in the spring, I didn’t clean up the tanks, sigh…
so, it started with cleaning the tank that held the plants last winter… I’ve decided to use it for fish, as the fish were getting a bit crowded in the two tanks…
got it cleaned and then a few days went by before I faced the two big tanks…
had to use the wetvac to remove all the water from the big tanks and dump it down the toilet in small batches… that took quite a bit of time and effort…
next I had to scrub them both down… then I brought in the hose and filled all three tanks up… another slow process…
I had to purchase a pump for the newest tank… as I hooked them up, the biggest pump would not work…
finally, after numerous attempts, it started working and now all three tanks are running and cleaning the water…
it will be weeks before the fish move in, but the tanks will be ready for them…
the funniest thing is realizing how much noise they make, after being silent all summer…
I received a box of individually wrapped pieces of chocolate in the mail to fill my Advent calendar…
was very happy and quick to pop one into each of the twenty four squares in the box… and there are two on the last day so that I can enjoy one on Christmas Day;-)…
now to wait for tomorrow, when I get to open the first one;-)…
last week the cleaning company got a little confused and they came on Friday instead of Wednesday…
it always takes a bit of time to be sure everything is tidy for their arrival… when they didn’t arrive on Wednesday at the designated time, I called and left a message, but didn’t hear back…
Thursday I called and left a second message, but again didn’t hear back… this is not the norm with this company so I was starting to worry about them…
Friday, first thing in the morning I got a call… due to a few strange happenings, both of my calls had been missed and their scheduling app had a few hiccups, so they now had me scheduled for noon…
I ran around and did a final tidy and they arrived a few minutes early… they did a great job of making the place nice and shiny…
the bed always looks fancy after they’ve been, lol… very nice for an afternoon nap;-)…
