grumble, grumble, grumble . . .

the pool got away from me again.  not sure if it was all the extra inches of rain in June or the heat or the shade trees being pruned back or me being two days late with the tablets, but whatever, it is about the color of a very queasy air traveler.  not good.

yesterday, i cleaned the filter, emptied the basket of all three leaves and a dead bug and brushed like hell, as my shoulder will attest.  today, i added more tablets, sprinkled in Quick Kill, a gallon of bleach and brushed again.  this afternoon when the pump kicks off, i will clean the filter again and then set the pump to run all night.  amazing the stuff that accumulates in there.

i can do this she muttered.  damn it, i can do this!

speaking of i can do it, i'm up to 12 laps.  with each lap being 60 feet, it will only take me 76 more laps to swim a mile.  snort.
