Nobody stole it!

I got home this evening, after spending time with Em and Grace, their dogs, and my dogs. Mama Anne was Christmas shopping and Papa Jason is traveling for work this week. We had a fantastically fun time playing games. Em also made us pizza for supper. I sat down to relax a little before I went to bed and suddenly realized that I wasn't wearing anything around my neck. I had an essential oil diffuser on a chain and a rose quartz pendant that I think I told you about a few weeks ago. I vaguely remembered taking them off somewhere unusual, but it took me a few minutes to remember where...it was in the pool! Of course, the oil diffuser has oil in it and has holes so I can smell it. It doesn't work well if I fill it up with water, but I forgot to take it off. When I realized, I took them both off and put them on the poolside, but forgot to pick them up when I left.

Now I admit to being critical of some of the pool staff, who I see doing the bare minimum, and sit around most of the time. I'm also very vocal about those who are always cleaning or tidying equipment, etc when not on guard duty, and thank them every chance I get.

I also have had a problem with people stealing things from the women's "plus" changeroom. It costs extra for the hot tub, towels, hair dryers, etc. You would expect that anyone who can afford to pay for the extra luxuries wouldn't need to steal things, but I've lost many things in there, to theft. In all the years I used the regular changeroom, I never lost a shampoo bottle or kids pool toys! Nothing! Makes you wonder, eh?

Regardless, when I called this evening, almost 2 days later, the pool staff had picked them up and kept them in the office. I was so grateful! I asked the woman to thank the pool staff, and will make sure that the pool supervisor hears about it too. So next time I'm in, they will be waiting at the front desk for me. Yahoo!

Ive tied my personal best of 2 days in the pool, and am on day 7 of eating well. Im excited for the Rooyakkers family Christmas celebration tomorrow and look forward to seeing some peeps that I might not see the rest of the year.

Love, elly
