Had a moderately bad slip last night after minor tiff with husband about the pool.
Pool : noun \’pül\ : large hole in ground filled with water requiring frequent application of costly chemicals and daily testing of water with toxic reagents and repeated tedious maintenance activities involving the manipulation of awkwardly long poles, heavy coiled hoses and the use of cumbersome suction devices to remove dirt and debris from the bottom and sides.
Occasionally somewhat enjoyable, when all above-referenced activities have been satisfactorily performed and the various expensive filtering and pumping devices required for proper operation of pool are in correct operating mode. Can be source of contention between spousal units who may differ in their interpretation of the necessary frequency of aforementioned maintenance-related tasks, as failure to perform said tasks can result in uncontrollable algae growth, improper pH, cloudy water and other unpleasant conditions rendering pool unuseable and requiring large applications of very costly chemicals and even more frequent maintenance to remediate.
I won’t go into the details of this moderately bad slip but as I’m still in detox phase and pretty fragile with regards to eating, this could push me right back “on the sauce” as I call it. I’m going to hope for the best and see how today goes. Had a bad night’s sleep and feel on the verge of getting sick, so I’m not expecting much. Having to attend an employee’s retirement luncheon today with the expected array of delicious treats isn’t going to help. And for some reason, my poor face is breaking out like a teenager's. Really.
Ouch.
Ouch.
At least I don’t do drugs. Or drink. Or smoke.
