#46 Tomorrow is Another Day

[kat727]

Wow has it really been over a month since I have been on here? I just had the most dreadful weekend and am fighting like heck to make this week turn out right.

Old dishwasher was leaking and flooded my kitchen floor. Went and ordered a new one. Took a half day off Friday to accept delivery and have it installed. They show up over a n hour past the time They said and then won't install it because I don't have a shutoff valve under the sink. They don't care that I know where the main is and have shut it off. I do have a shutoff it is just in the Passover behind my kitchen sink.

I just said I don't know what I am going to do but I don't want them to just leave it. So I take D17 to the basketball game her half of the band has to play at. After the game she texts me that she is ready for me to get here and unbeknownst to either of us she has lost her phone. I find this out Saturday, right before the KU game. Her Dad has got a call from some guy that found it, I need to go get it. I call the guy and he demands $30.00! Oh extortion and all, if I hadn't already had a bas start and I was thinking straight, I would have called the cops and had me meet the good Samaritan.

Anyway after the game, I am trying to clean and discover that my toilet isn't filling up. I check it on line and see what I need to fix it. Go get needed part. When I get home it seems to be working just a bit slower. Anyway second son comes over yesterday and I ask him to help me get the part out as I don't have a lot of upper arm strength. He says sure it is easy, he just did this at his house. Well helpful son breaks off the part and neither one of us can get it out. I have to call the plumber. Fixed really quick and left me broke. Around 10, when I was getting ready for bed, I notice the tank leaking. Now I am getting the whole darn thing replaced.

Whew, My good news is that I am planning my trip to Rwanda to see the mountain gorillas. It will take me a couple of years to save enough but I am going to do it. If my darn house doesn't bleed me dry first!!
