Woke in the middle of the night to go use the toilet, and on the walk back to bed was struck with inspiration. I have often wished for water within reach of bed, so I didn’t have to get up to refill my water bottle.
We have discussed the possibility of putting an aquarium in the attic bedroom, built into the around the bed reading nook.
Would it be possible to run a cold-water only line over there, and a drainage sink? Not only could I fill my water bottle if I run out in the night, but then he wouldn’t need to carry water to the aquarium to refill it, and not need to carry bowls of water from the aquarium to clean it.
So I picked up my phone to make a note of the question, saw that I hadn’t plugged it in before sleeping, did so, and didn’t fall right back to sleep, so updated my logs, and then got back up to do a yoga session.
As a result, by the time I got back to bed, the dawn light had already started slowing waking up, but I got a nap till Keldor’s alarm went off. He really didn’t like the idea of a sink by the aquarium at all. Not one little bit. Sigh. I still like it, but without him on board there isn’t much point in discussing with the plumbers if it is possible.
During my lunch break I looked a the local real estate page, as one does now and then, and I see a property not far from here that is a decent size and a great price If I had a bit more in savings it would be tempted to just buy it and keep living here while we slowly fixed it up. Do any of you want a cheap fixer-upper with enough room to hold camping events? You could live in our guest room and work on it till it was liveable.
In other news, the cats are still seriously cute.
