The unit had run dry, and today I added 176lbs of Saflo cubed salt to the softener and it didn’t even reach the max fill line. We really have to get a tech out here to stop this thing recharging twice daily, as I’m using four to six bags of salt per month, per month! That’s insane. Waters soft as all get out though. Silky smooth hair and shampoo that froths up like a glob of horny horse goo. But still, that’s just too much salt per month.
Trying to think on what to do today. I dropped the kids off at school, then grabbed the salt I needed. Even remembered to pick up a new dryer vent cover for the exterior of the house. Was even going to take the old one down and add the new one. But as it would turn out, the original was glued in place with construction adhesive and silicone, and has no screw holes or screws/bolts to hold it in place. So I need to find a hammer drill and suitable bolts/screws/fasteners to be able to attach it. Add it to the list. I picked up some new blades too, always handy to have sharp exacto blades at the ready. Bought a larger hacksaw as mine is very petite, and no good for anything beyond small brass rods I use to pin resin model kits together.
It’s hard to describe it, but the living room now feels peaceful since I put the shelf unit in yesterday, and spent an hour or two cleaning up. It won’t last, it never does, but for the moment I feel at ease in the space. Which I haven’t done in ten weeks or more. I probably should have given it another few days to finish off gassing both the stain and wax polish finish. But it’s not awful, and the peace of mind is almost zen like. I can see the floors again. I didn’t step on any toys and injured my foot before school. I didn’t kick a thing, my toes (this far) are un-dinged. Blissful. I do have a stack of recycling to tackle that’s about 18 inches tall though.
Sooner I start the sooner more paid work will come in, so there is that to look forward to. Sent out a couple invoices this morning. Have a big one outstanding elsewhere that’ll come one once I start to get about it. With more work to come, and more invoices left to send. Glorious!
I did four loads of laundry yesterday, and did the main floor vacuuming then too. So Domestic Duties Monday is a bit easier today. I’ll hit the toilets with some cleaners and a scrub brush. Give the sink & tub a once over, and call it a day. We have after school extra curriculars now, so I have newly reinstated chauffeur duties to attend to again. Oh joy! Kids. Gotta love’em. Ciao Bella!
