Getting it Done
Today we had our checkup with Complete Basements out of Mankato. Every fifteen months, they do a check on all things related to the sump pump. Without that sump pump and the maintenance of it I would be up a creek. Glub, glub. All is well as of now with the reminder that next year, we will need to replace the battery for the backup system. It is now metered out at 11.2%. We have never had to have the backup used . . . thus far. It sure would be a sad state of affairs if we didn’t maintain what has and is serving us so well.
Dennis went to his veteran’s luncheon today in Mankato. They had not gotten together since February. Dennis reported it was a slim turnout as I am sure some don’t feel that they are ready to be in a crowd, remembering that all of them are at the age of being vulnerable adults.
Anytime I finish with a project in the sewing studio, it’s time to tidy up. Threads escape . . . everywhere. With the last project having a lot of lint and fuzz, it warranted doing some deep cleaning of the sewing machine and oiling all parts indicated. Putting in a new needle after each project is also so worth the time and money. My gosh they are less than $.75 each and it makes a huge difference.
It felt good to get the sump pump checkup over with as well as the mighty sewing machine cleaning. I am not a procrastinator. With that . . . I take after Dad. I appreciate getting that in my genes. Getting things done in a timely fashion makes for by-passing crunch time or stressing over thinking about doing it. Last minute glitches can throw the baby out with the bathwater. Doing it sooner than later allows for enjoying the bubbles, aka: freeing up the spirit.
We are on to more days of tolerable temps. How sweet is that!
