I did not, however, post yesterday. To be fair though, I took a picture. I just completely forgot to post it. Whoops. Learning curves...they get ya every time.
Either way, here's my picture from yesterday (it's not great or exciting).
I've been spending some afternoons by the pool. I always start by cleaning it, then I relax and read, then clean, then later, rinse, repeat. It turns out, I really love cleaning the pool. I remember growing up we wanted a pool so badly but Mom and Dad just kept telling us how much work it was. I'm sure as a child I wouldn't have enjoyed the chore and they were probably right. For some reason though, I now enjoy it. Something about doing a little work and being able to see the difference right away is satisfying. Another satisfying thing, and probably the real reason I like the work, is that when I get hot, I jump in the pool. I mean, what a deal...
Anyway, I'm off to swim, clean, and read again today.

They knew how much work it was because we had one at the house we lived in before the farm. It was a nice in-ground pool, and a huge pain in the behind. One time it turned COMPLETELY green and disgusting. Yucky. Trying to maintain it while watching 3-4 rambunctious kids was a huge challenge for Mom/Dad. Plus it's a huge drowning hazard.
