It's the boiler, again

susandennisA quick check of this journal revealed that the pool's boiler had to be replaced in May of this year. The pool was closed for 3 weeks and change. Yesterday, Erica said that she was told the boiler has to be replaced again. The pool will be cold for at least two weeks. I sure hope they buy this one from a legit place instead of out of the trunk of some back alley guy.
There's a woman, Holly, who plays volleyball with us. She just turned 80 and is quite spry. She's one of those old people who you would guess was pretty ditzy in her prime. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer, ever. But, she's sweet and earnest. She swims every day - very slowly and with a snorkel. Probably an hour, I often get there after she's been in for a while and leave before she's done. I ran into her last night and she said she was still using the pool. It's cold but 'once I get going'. I know she's only doing it to make me feel like a slug. It's working, Holly!! But, I'm holding fast. I like to drink cold water, I don't like to swim in it.
Bonny goes to an exercise class on Monday/Wednesday/Fridays - 10 am 'it's really just stretching - not much exercise'. I'm going with her this morning.
Then, next week my brother comes so that will be forced moving. Oh, I remembered another thing for the refrigerator list so I bought him a little drywall repair kit for Christmas. Don't tell him. I want it to be a surprise. hahahahaha
I have now watched so many Shetland episodes, my brain no longer uses the world little. Every small thing is now wee. This is not a change I like. But, I have 3 more seasons to go.
I keep trying to think of things I need to do before the year ends. Mainly tax things but I can't come up with anything. Must just be muscle memory.
They are only serving one meal today - a fancy early dinner. There is not enough good things on the menu to entice me. Tomorrow is another one meal day - a buffet but ditto on the menu. I have good stuff here and grocery stores are close by. But I will be glad when these holiday exceptions are over.
