... pipe snake, but I'm not 100% on that, anyways, he borrowed it from his dad and got the plumbing all fixed.. thank God we didn't have to pay a plumber, y'know? He said that there was a... been a landlord," but whatever. We would have just called Redi Rootr ourselves if Robert hadn't fixed the plumbing, because it's easier to just pay to have someone come out to fix something that goes wrong, or just ...

Oh ... what a belly laugh

This horoscope just arrived in my inbox for tomorrow: There may be trouble on the home front today. Your family life will be fine, but don't be surprised if a plumbing leak or problem with your diswasher spurs up. Be proactive and fix it yourself and you might save yourself some grief and a high plumbing bill. There you go. Saturday.

Work Tomorrow!

... the Hawaiian dancers on it. 4. If you could go back in time, what time would you live in and where would you live? Well if I had to stay there, I wouldn't go to a time before indoor plumbing and women's liberation LOL! But just for a visit? I'd go see George III's coronation! 5. If you could have any ONE thing in the entire world (not including money) what would it be? Clean drinking ...

thankful

love, patience, indoor plumbing, technology (to help me stay connected with the ones I love), family, space heaters and freedom, in no order also, I feel extremely lucky that I know such incredible, talented, wonderful people who are willing to put up with more of my shit than anyone would believe you know who you are

6th day in the house 26 Nov 09

...on. The kitchen bookcase is holding up the finishing of the kitchen, so that's a priority got the Linux server up and plugged into the firewall (now we've found it),although we have a lot of network plumbing to do. Did some research on a job that a customer needs a quote for today - just what we need right now had fish and chips; £6 quid for two allegedly small portions, which we couldn't finish...

... i am cold. however! it is american thanksgiving i think so maybe i'll be thankful for some stuff just to balance it out, even though i am not american or a pilgrim. i am thankful for indoor plumbing. the wax seal on our toilet died and we got it fixed and i feel so much better about life now. i am thankful for rainbows because they are awesome. i am thankful for clean water that happens in my...

...In a way, I'm learning to love myself again, only...perhaps not so much "again," as I am "completely, for the first time." That's why I hesitate to call this a relapse anymore...it's more like I'm plumbing depths I never tried to reach before, trying to shake away the debris at my very core, so I can be the best me that I can be...or, rather...just so I can be me . Those two little letters hold ...

I believe in Magic

...a bit and I think I will feel much better in the morning. I did ok, OCD-wise, I think, all things considered. I want to apologise to everyone who has had to read or hear about my emergency plumbing issues! I've been very focussed and one tracked about it. But I didn't flip out *too badly*. This morning T_ at work was making some really graphic jokes about the utterly feral sponge in the tea room (...

...is dangerous, as she is wont to rip out the eyes or the face of the person summoning her. An amusing Brazilian example exist, known as the blonde in the toilet. The summoner must flush three times whilst cursing, and the blonde will rise through the depths of indoor plumbing and kill the person who cursed. Normal rules apply: no spoilers, 3 gifs per comment. Carp porn is always appreciated.

Home repair follow-up post

I replaced the shower diverter valve I mentioned in last night's post. Had to go to a plumbing parts store to get a replacement (rather than Home Depot, since it wasn't a common brand) and then had some troubles getting the replacement to work as expected. Anyway, it's done and appears to be working. Definitely spent a little too much time and effort on it, but at least I learned a little bit in...
