canyonwalkerIt's been a long, dry several months with the pool and hot tub out of service. The pool was closed seasonally. That didn't bother me as it's too cold in the winter to enjoy it. But the hot tub has been closed for several months for repairs. THAT bothered me as I enjoy having a soak in the hot water at least a few times a week but haven't been able to for 5 months. Yes, the repairs took longer than expected. But finally it reopened last week.
Today was our first day back in the pool. We went out this morning while it was still gloomy outside thinking a soak would be a nice contrast to the poor weather. But then the clouds started burning off moments after we got there. Hey, no problem; we'll enjoy a soak under blue skies even more!
I'm looking forward to a nice, long summer of being able to enjoy the pool on the regular. Since I'm retired now I won't have to work around my work schedule on weekdays to figure out when I can sneak out to the pool. In retirement every day is Saturday!
Now we just need the weather to cooperate. It would've been awesome if the pool were open 2 weeks earlier, when we had that no-really-it's-still-winter heat wave. If I could've done laps in the pool and then sat on a lounge chair for an hour each day in 90° weather, I would have. Now we're down to 60s and 70s as highs for the next week+ so the full #PoolLife experience will have to wait. Until then I'll try to make a point of using the hot tub regularly now that it's back.
