silver_chipmunkI got up a little earlier than yesterday, around 11:30. Had breakfast and coffee, and eventually showered and dressed.
The first thing I did was call again about the refund from the travel insurance for the trip I canceled back in April. The problem is that instead of sending me an email with a link to set up direct deposit, they sent me a text notifying me they sent another check. So I called and hopefully straightened that out.
I dithered for a long time, but finally worked up the energy to do something about the turtle tank. Temporarily I have given up on getting the python attached to the sink, so I dragged out the siphon. I got it to work semi-well, and was able to remove a little over two buckets of very dirty water, and replaced them with four buckets clean. The tank is still a mess though, prehaps in coming days I'll take out more and replace it.
The Kid texted me while I was cleaning and we had a bit of discussion. I also texted RK to have him come Tuesday for dinner at CPK (which I owe him for taking care of the pets while I'm gone) and to pick up my keys.
Then I puttered around for quite awhile doing not much of anything. Finally at a bit before 7:00, I Teamed the FWiB. We had a lovely time, about an hour and a half.
At 8:30 I called Middle Brother. He is fine, had a barbeque on Memorial Day, and went to a movie sometime this week. He had a good time at both.
After that, I had dinner, and then lay down to read until pet feeding time.
One happy thng, I got the notice that the copy of the new Guy Gavriel Kay book Written on the Dark, that I ordered from Thriftbooks (they also do new books, cheaper than Barnes and Nobel and Amazon!) will be delivered tomorrow. I am going to hold on reading it til the plane trip to Ohio.
That was pretty much the day.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. Cleaner turtle tank.
3. Hopefully got the trip insurance straightened out.
4. Middle Brother having fun.
5. My book is coming tomorrow.
6. I found my bathing suit.
