After I got home tonight, I decided to do a bit of housecleaning, which is usually left for the weekend. For some reason, I was having a smidgen of energy and thought I should be productive. Maybe it was the fact that I sat through hours of CPR/First Aid training today and felt that if I could save a life, perhaps I should start by saving my bathtub and study!
First, I have to say that one of my VERY favorite things in our new home is the whirlpool tub. I try to limit my use of it to just a couple of times a week, since it uses enough water to fill a swimming pool! But, when I use it, I usually stay in it until I'm wrinkled to prune size and the water is just above freezing. Nothing like it in the world! I've never lived in a home that had one and I am loving it.
THAT aside, I have to note that it is a nightmare to clean and keep clean! I guess the jets keep soap and stuff in them and so it can get funky. A friend told me that after she cleans hers, she fills it and adds some Clorox bleach to the water and runs the jets for a bit to clean them out. I have done it once before and it really did a good job. So, tonight, I decided it was time to do that again. The photo above is what started happening when I turned the jets on! SO funny! If it hadn't been bleach water, I would have wanted to get in it!!! It didn't do this last time, so I'm guessing there was some lingering soap in the tub or jets that just went crazy!
Steve started making it look like he was going to create something with it as if it were snow.
Of course, our nosy pets had to get in on the action too. Look how grey Koko is getting...even her little paws! Zoie wouldn't stay still long enough for a photo.
By the way, these photos were taken with our Valentine gift to each other...a small, Nikon digital camera to replace my other one that never turned up after the move. This one will fit in Steve's pocket or backpack when he's hiking or whatever and in my purse when we go to ballgames and all. Not bad photos for the price!
And yes, it's after midnight and again I cannot sleep. No rest for the wicked, they say. And of course it's always something....
