Back in Hot Water Again!
Nearly 16 months. That's how long I was unable to use the pool and hot tub in my townhouse community due to Coronavirus lockdown policies. The community decided to reopen it after June 15 when California lifted most of its restrictions. It took a bit after that before the pools were ready for use, though, because some of the equipment (heater, pump, etc.) had broken during the shutdown. But Thursday afternoon (July 1) it opened!

We didn't use the pool Thursday evening though we did stop by to verify things are working. It was good to see a few other small families using the pool already. We might have gone back after dinner for a dip in the hot tub but we forgot. 😜 That's what happens when you've had 16 months to forget the habit!

Speaking of habits, I resumed one Friday. After finishing most of my work for the day, around 3pm I changed into my swim trunks and went out for a soak in the hot tub. It's one of the small perks of working remotely that I can take a mid-afternoon ‘‘coffee break’’ in the pool.
