Water, Water Everywhere

I spent an hour yesterday morning cleaning the inside of the airport shuttle (a.k.a. my van) because precious cargo will be picked up today! (My sister and her family are coming for Christmas)

The outside of the van was SO dirty. But being below freezing yesterday, no car washes were open. At 4:30 yesterday afternoon, in 24 degree weather, Rocket Man goes outside and washes my van! Again, in freezing temperatures! I told him not to. I told him it could just be dirty this one time. But he insisted my sister would ride in a clean vehicle! Rocket Man really likes my sister and is always excited when she comes to visit. It will be a loud, hectic holiday, but the girls will have a blast with their cousins!

On another note, as we prepared to climb into bed Friday night, Rocket Man discovered our waterbed had sprung a leak! So at 11pm he was sloshing around the backyard connecting hoses to drain the bed. The next morning he inspected the bladder, but never could find the source of the leak. It must have been a tiny hole, and he said that's all it takes. So we decided to scrap the water bed and just purchase a regular mattress. Our new mattress won't be shipped until next week, but we were given a loaner mattress until then. I think I am adjusting to the change a little better than Rocket Man. But I think when our new foam mattress arrives we will both like it.
