Today is literally a day with absolutely nothing on my agenda.
Had I chosen to do so, I could have slept in and lounged about all day.
However, by now, I hope you know me well enough to realize that that would never fly in my world!
There is always something that needs tending to , fixing or taking care of.
Earlier this week , we had another episode with stopped up sinks. After 2 days of treating the drains, I finally was able to get them clear.
I decided that today would be a good day to do some laundry and see if in fact everything was working as it should.
Mission accomplished.
Next I decided it was as good a time as any to close up the pool.
It has not been a great summer for backyard swimming.
There just have not been that many opportunities for us to take advantage of our pool.
Either we were working, or driving to South Jersey or the weather was not cooperating.
What ever the reason,we just haven't spent much time out there.
In years past, I would leave the pool open just in case.
Just in case almost never happens and before I realize it, leaves are falling and the pool is a mess,which will only lead to more work in the spring when I open it.
So today, I will close the pool up. I treated the water before lunch, and after running the filter for a few hours , Max and I will remove the ladder, drain the water level a bit, dismantle the filter and cover the pool up for winter.
To be honest, that may be the extent of things I want to accomplish today.
I could probably find 3 or 4 other chores to fill my day if I really wanted to.
However, as in baseball when a manager pulls a pitcher after 6 strong innings, when I am done with the couple of tasks I set out to get done I will end my day with a feeling of accomplishment.
And there is nothing wrong with that!
Shabbat Shalom!
