Today was one of those days. We got up early to head into town to buy material, hoping to be home by noonish so we could build some panels. 2 o'clock rolls around and we are still in town. It always seems like there is something else to do. Some other place to go. Something else to buy.... I ended up going to Home Depot and buying some marigolds and Dahlia's for my garden, and then we bought some "tester" goldfish for the new pond. We have monitored the water in the pond for a few days now masking sure the ph level stayed low with the new cement we have just put down. It was perfect this morning so in went the "tester" fish. Poor little guys, seems mean to me to just put perfectly good fish into a newly cemented pond fully knowing they will probably die within seconds, or atleast suffer for a minute or two. BUT approximately 8 hours now and they are all alive and well. We think we have done it!!! We bought a few plants as well and in two days if they fish stay alive we will add water and connect the two ponds. I have become quite fond of my fish in the old pond and would hate to see them die.
Tonight I went off to bootcamp. 16 classes of bootcamp and that was my 15th. One more to go on Thursday. I feel fantastic. I have so much more energy and was able to run 5 kms tonight without any problem. I love it....so much that I have signed on for another 6 week session. Brooks thinks I am nuts!!! But he did make me the most fabulous salad with tuna tonight and it awaited me when I got home. DELICIOUS!! I am a lucky girl!!! So because of today, we have to get up extra early tomorrow and build 13 panels and deliver them into town. But you know what??? It was a great day and was worth it!!!
