I hadn't really thought about what the day might bring.  I just got up and got going figuring that it would take care of itself.  I knew that the 'pond cleaners' would be coming, but I didn't think  of what that would mean for me.  I figured that I wouldn't spend any time out there watching and helping.  I would leave that to them, but I knew that I would end up filling it back up later on when they finished.  As it turned out I sat out there until 8:30 when I finished and cleaned out the skimmer for what I hope will be the last time for a while.  We both like it so much better when it is clean.  We know it won't last all year, but it is good to have it that way for now.  They hit Sheila's 'budget time constraints' right on and were gone in 3 hours.  We did have to interrupt the refill for a while because of that call we got about the call he got.  Didn't plan on it, but when we were told that Colton had received 'the' letter and would be opening it @ 6:30 we changed out plans and were there.  So I finished up the pond job when we got back home.  Oh yes, he was call to serve in Peru!  It was a nice announcement party, short and sweet.  Sheila still has her 'Robert' run and I have my walk to and around the church yet to go.  With all that has gone on I feel like I missed some time connecting me with the day.  Looks like I'll do that when I am able to relax and end my day.  I'm talking about just closing out the world and pondering on my place and my time.  Kind of a perspective practice run, if you know what I mean.  Once I get today all sorted I'll take a breath and then focus on tomorrow.  I was able to close out a week and get lots of smaller tasks done today so I will be quite pleased with myself when I get around to digesting what as taken place.  But then it will be time to move on, that is, sleep and wake up having moved on to Thursday, my next big adventure.  What can it possible have in store for us?
