Rewrite

Hopefully I’m beginning the rewrite today. I have Scribes tomorrow and am reading again. I worked last week, and it was a heavy week. We are all doing a new rotation in a new area of work and last week I began my month of it. But that went better than I expected it to and I’m glad to have learned it. However, the weather turned cold suddenly, and I had to bring in all my tropical plants from outside. I did that each night after work until about 9 pm. Most everything got in.

The other thing that went wrong is my backyard pond is leaking badly. It now has only about 2 inches of water in it. I doubt many of the fish are still alive and hopefully the frogs moved out or to the upper pond. The lower pond is what leaked. I’m trying to figure out what to do. I love the pond, but it is a lot to maintain. My father and brother also have ponds and I’m getting advice from them. I’m looking into replacing the liner and filter and maybe redesigning it. I have an engineer friend who may help me with the design. I have to do some researching. Another friend at work and her brother can be hired to help do the labor. The first step is to take everything out of the pond to see what went wrong. That will likely get started this week.

You can see I have my hands full. Just when I thought I was getting everything taken care of. The several of the boards around the big picture window in the back have been replaced and repainted. The pond deck has been rebuilt and will be repainted this week.

Ok, not much about writing. Perhaps on Thursday I will be able to report more on the writing process and progress itself. Life happens to all of us. You roll with the punches and do the best you can.
