I was really tired at school for some reason yesterday and my knees were bothering me quite a bit. I couldn't wait to get home and into my hot tub. At my last class the teacher told us she was postponing our midterm from next Thursday till the following Tuesday. That was good for me since I wouldn't have two midterms on the same day and would have a weekend each to concentrate on studying but on the other hand I had to cancel a visit with my lovers and I didn't care for that part of it at all.
When I pulled up to the house at 7:30 pm after class, yesterday, I could see Tom in his robe, through the window. I took that as a good sign that the hot tub was ready to go. I entered the house, went to the bathroom, (ok you didn't need to know that so pretend you don't:), stripped as I headed across the living room and out to the deck, and climbed into my very own hot tub. It was not as hot as I expected but it was really delightful. We played with the controls, more pressure for the jets, more bubbles, turned the underwater light on, shifted from seat to seat to try the various arrangements of jets. It didn't turn out to be the most relaxing time I have had in a hot tub but it was fun. One corner has two larger jets - a rotating jet, and a jet with adjustable direction, one at mid back and one higher. Another corner has 6 small fixed jets in two rows of three from low back to high back. The other corner has one large directional jet about tailbone height and one side has the jet at mid back. Then two sides don't have jets unless you spend more money to get more jets but this was expensive enough as it is. The last corner has the filter/skimmer in it so isn't usable but it should hold 6 people who don't mind their legs being intertwined or more people if they are very friendly.
This morning I overslept but didn't have to go anywhere so it didn't matter. I don't know if that is a fluke or related to hot tubbing last night as over sleeping is rare for me. In fact, actually sleeping later than 6:30-7:00 am is rare for me. But I am getting better. It used to be rare for me to sleep past about 4:30 am. I got up, did my exercises, chakra energy raising, and morning prayers, and then headed out to the hot tub again. Tom turned it up a degree this morning, checked the PH and chlorine again. I guess it takes awhile of testing and adding to get it adjusted for the first time. Then we hopped in again. We kept the jets low and talked about what kind of things we would like to do with the hot tub, and just relaxed. Oh, and watched the ladybugs fly about. For some reason there are ladybugs all over the place this year. I noticed it at school yesterday as well.
I came in feeling very ambitionless, a relatively rare thing for me. So now I wonder if you can use the hot tub too much?
We are planning to do a full moon ritual in the hot tub tonight - put candles out around the deck and on the sides, share drinkable water, do a little magic. I am looking forward to it.
