HOT, the POOL, Paint Colors and the Kanga Book.


Sorry that I haven't been stopping to comment on blogs lately!
I'm reading them on my phone.
In fact I'm doing this post by phone!
It seems like I never have very much time to set down to the computer.

It's been SUPER HOT here
and I've been putting in a TON of overtime.
Don't ask why, let's just say, same old same old!
Sigh.
Anyway, the pool has saved me.
Relaxing and refreshing.... 

Except for yesterday when I came home and within the course of ONE day, it had turned an ugly green color.
I had been adding chlorine tablets but apparently I need to change the "filter" and also to "test" the water and to, at least weekly, "shock" it with chlorine.
Luckily I will have some overtime pay because it's becoming clear that pools aren't cheap.
I mean yes, THE pool was cheap but the maintenance is not.

There's a metaphor here but my brain is too fried to think of what it is.

Other news: I've finally chosen paint colors for my kitchen and laundry room!
This is HUGE for me as I'm addicted to White.
I'll share more on that later.

Other news. My Kanga book...
I have had it written for quite some time.
I've had the sketches scribbled out in a storybook fashion too.
But then I was stalled.
I just couldn't move forward.
Then the other day as I as floating, it hit me.
I felt the story was too generic.
Too typical.
But as I floated, I thought about how I wanted the story to be so many things.
#1 Dealing with a handicap
#2 Rescuing animals, especially ones that aren't perfect
#3 (most importantly) How to choose be happy.

So as I floated, it suddenly started to come together in my mind's eye.
It's still not completely worked out but I'm ALMOST totally sure on how I want it to be.
Yep.
I just need some chlorine and stuff so that I can get back to floating/visualizing so that I can complete the process!
LOL!
OK! See ya later!
Try to stay cool and hydrated!
XOXOXO
