I'm been pretty proud of all I have accomplished today. My son has had a rash (that makes his skin feel like a pickle, so hereafter he will be referred to as Mr. Pickle) for about a week now. The doctor said he was probably contagious and not to have him around other children, therefore no church and no cousin birthday party. Sad.
Thus, I cleaned. I swept and dusted Mr. Pickle's room, I swept the entryway, I decluttered and cleaned the bathroom, and with some help, I moved my desk out of our bedroom. That's a lot for a Sunday.
I also tried to up my water intake today. I had filled our filtered water pitcher, so it was all ready to go for the day. I drank several glasses. I even refilled the pitcher.
Then tonight, when I went to fill up my glass once again, I saw it. Something floating in the water. Hanging from the filter. That's when I realized two things.
1. Something was growing in my filtered water pitcher.
And, 2. I had been drinking water all day that had touched that "growth."
I guess they're serious when they say you ought to replace your water filter every few months. 'Course, I'm the girl that didn't replace my vacuum filter for oh, about two years.
I think I'll take my chances with unfiltered water until I get that filter replaced...
