The Neon Nurse's Charting

While I was out running my errands we had a weird little rain shower. First of all, it was bright and sunny as all get out--there were big clouds, but they were all rugged individualists doing their own thing far away from each other. The drops, though--THEY merged up good. Big huge splotty drops that must have been the size of marbles before they hit. Good job they weren't hail!

The pool problem(s) have been sorted out. Even though the general consensus was that the black water was not dangerous, I had Mike pump it out anyway, because it just looked so ominous. He bravely cleaned it AGAIN, only to find that somehow during all this activity it had developed a hole. But it was a little one, easily mended with some electrician's tape and plumber's putty.

In other wild, mad excitement, Damaris was declared a hero today by me for volunteering to herd her three kids plus Mike through Kids' Day at our county fair. $5 unlimited rides, free lunch and games, and only in the low 90s! By foisting it off on Damaris I missed the fun, but also the walking around on my very slowly healing-up knees.

Not only that, I got to experience several hours worth of "pieces of quiet", which makes me look forward guiltily to school starting in only 2 1/2 weeks!
