Hey, I'm back. I had to go pick up a rental car that was near K's shop, so I hitched a ride with him when he left to get parts. I got my car, (a snazzy little Kia - woo hoo!) K finished the plumbing, and all is right and quiet now. He gave me the "T's Good Neighbor Discount" - more than a 50% break - and I only ended up paying $100. Not to mention, he told me that any other plumber probably would have told me that it couldn't be fixed and I would need to put in a whole new shower unit, for around $900. Gosh, it's good to know people.
I started this plumbing project right after I got home from Friday Treats so I've basically accomplished nothing today. I ate my killer lunch and did a load of laundry - haven't got to the folding part yet - but now all I want to do is sit and write. Especially since I've somehow managed to break my tv. At first, I thought the cable was out, but my other tv works just fine. This one downstairs is such a high-tech operation that it's a miracle I can turn it on most days; I can't watch a movie if I'm home alone because one of the kids always has to help me set that up. I watched the Today Show this morning and everything was fine. Then I go to turn it on when I sit down for lunch and...nothing. I've pushed every button and every combination of buttons I can possibly configure, to no avail. Now J's says he's going to be home late, which means I'm going to miss Cash Cab, unless M shows up and fixes this for me. Maybe I should call him home from the skate park; I hate missing my nightly dose of I-Feel-Smart-Even-Though-The-Questions-Aren't-That-Hard.
Oh, the life of a housewife! It's exhausting! Plumbing problems and wrecked cars and technical difficulties...my drinking partner had gum surgery (again) yesterday so she's down for the count; S had too much wine the other night (that's two glasses, for her) so she's sworn off the hooch for awhile (whatever!). It's no wonder I take drugs. How else would I get through this life I lead?
Ok, enough of me. I wonder if you went out or stayed in...whichever you chose, I hope you're thoroughly enjoying it.
Love,
A
