There’s something very strange about getting up in the morning and having the house be 70 degrees. In fact, at 4AM, it was still 63 degrees outside, which means it was about as warm as I was used to it being inside all winter. It has been a truly glorious week here, weather-wise. Of course, what with it being Friday and all, it’s time for that to end, and it looks like a wet (and cooler) trend is on the way. Oh well, that will give us time to see if the big vat of pea soup in the back yard can be turned into something to not be terrified of falling into. Thanks to Granny making a trip to the pool store yesterday, I was able to dump some chemicals in there in the evening, and I ran the pump all night (filter was pretty plugged when I got up). I have my doubts that it will ever get clean, but we shall see. I’d hate to have to dump the water out and fill it back up again. Oh, it’s a hard, hard life when you can’t afford a pool girl.
