So much like early (very early) spring today! It was -8 in the morning but up to 38 in the incredibly bright and warm sunshine this afternoon. I love this weather.
The plumber returned, replaced the pressure tank but oh no! the pump still won't come up to pressure. I diagnosed the problem, at least I think I did: the line between the house and the well is frozen (and frozen GOOD). The pump won't pull water from the well but the line going to the well has water in it so the well is probably not dry. What difference does it make, really? I don't have water and won't for a long, long time. I think it was a perfect storm while I was in RI--bare ground, subzero temps, no water moving through the lines. I just hope the line hasn't burst, that's all I need. Anyway I have generous and wonderful friends and have easy access to water.
Went to the gym yesterday and today with Carol, that was nice. Yesterday I went to Plattsburgh for lunch with Barb and taking care of a few errands. Today I took a shower at Carol's then visited for a bit over coffee, very nice. They have one of the best views in the Adks for sure--panorama of the Silver Lake Mtn. bluffs. Really spectacular. After that I went to the dump, then stopped for a short visit at P&J's, then came home and was industrious. I swept and started tidying up the living room (hosting book group tomorrow), did 2 loads of laundry at the Holts (got to use my freshly re-wired dryer for the first time in a long, long time), visited with a friend who was here to check on his camp, finished the book group book, which I really enjoyed (The Flood Girls). Now I'm in for the night and can only eat lean protein and fruit for the rest of the night because a friend brought me delicious cookies and I ate 2 of them. I gained a couple of pounds this week. I think I got too cocky, deciding I didn't need to count or measure, I "just know" how many points foods are. NOT. So now it's back to recording everything I eat, which is just fine and works.
Tomorrow I'll finish the laundry and cook a corned beef dinner in the crock pot for book group. yum.
It was a stellar day. A banner day. A wonderful day. But I still have to vacuum and dust.
Tess is not better but not worse so I guess she'll survive kenneling. I just worry about how difficult it might be for the kennelers to deal with her. Early morning seems to be her worst time, maybe they won't have to deal with her then.
