Sounds good to me, Karla!
But I already started puttering.
First, I went to the coffee social. Our table usually consists of 3 couples, and my neighbor Chris and me. One couple (LOL..the wife is Nosy Neighbor's cousin - remember Nosy Neighbor?) is a bit cranky on occasion, but today all they did was b**ch, b**ch, b**ch. The wife has gotten forgetful and she asks the same things over and over again. Today, they bought tickets for a dinner. Well, the tickets were numbered and she had kittens because her and her husband's numbers weren't consecutive. We spent about 10 minutes on that. A little later, she asked me how our neighbor was doing (the one whose son is in jail) and I said she's fine, but her 58-year-old son had a major stroke and almost didn't make it. Well, the husband thought I was talking about the jailbird son and started with "he shoulda died, he's nuthin' but a piece of s**t...." I tried explaining that it was a different son, but he can't hear and he just kept ranting about it. Then the "meeting" part of the social started where the different organizations each get up and tell us what's going on in the community. After that, there's a 50/50 drawing and a bigger drawing where you have to be there if they pull your name. As the MC was calling the next to the last speaker, the husband hollered, "50/50!" and the wife started in on it, too. So the speaker said his piece, then she called up the last speaker and the husband cursed out loud and the wife started with "oh, come on!" I tell ya, I think I'm joining another table if they're going to keep this up.
Whew! Thanks...I needed to vent that.
So I had some pent up energy when I got home and started cleaning the fountain which sat all thru the rainy season, manufacturing algae.
I sucked out all the green/brown water, hosed it off a couple of times, pulled out the hose and made sure it wasn't clogged. Then I poured in a bunch of bleach and some more water and have it running. I'll give it about an hour and see how it looks, whether I need to scrub it or not.
I may go over to bring some shirts to Marty that are way too big for me. I'm not sure. It depends on how I feel when I'm done with the fountain.
OK, gang...that's my day. I hope you enjoy yours.
