Buying more water today. They open at noon. I hate that; I have the energy NOW
but I have chores to do in the meantime so I vacuumed his floor again, I swear it's like having a Tilapia not an Octopus, took his bottle and scrubbed it while he watched from his PVC. Put two gallons back in to replace what I stole vacuuming, now we are OUT and that makes me nervous.
He likes to trick me. I will wiggle fingers and whisper at, say, this opening of the PVC because that's where he was. Right?
Then he will reach out and lasso me from THAT or THAT opening because he wants me to jump out of my skin.
It's like a guitar string. Sometimes I do notice the suckers but usually it's like a darn WIRE, very strong and just exactly like we were told, you aren't ready for it so you kind of jump every time. One joked "Now I jump in here (indicating torso) but you're going to freak out at first just do NOT jump or move too fast, and he won't stop doing it, he'll reach for you every time if you want him to."
So far that has been Gospel. He's reluctant sometimes, once he was in a rush to eat but usually he likes to sneak up on me. Usually.
Still need to work on filtration.
Decided to go on, and bring in the overflow box. Face my demon in the house, it's worked on the patio for over a month.
