I am in awe of some people's writing abilties on this site. My father could write like that. He wrote beautiful poetry. I didn't get any of his writing skills.
Today, I got up and did things around the house. I made a list yesterday and almost got it all done. I finished the laundry and paid bills. Then I took Jonathan's things back to his mother's house. I picked up a few supplies so I could fix things around my house. I started on the soffet and facial board out back. I replaced 4 feet of it when I realized that 4 feet further down was another section of rotted facial board. So, tomorrow I have to go get more lumber. Then I decided I would put in the new toilet I got for free from rehabing the other house. I thought 30 minutes tops. Turn off the water, unscrew the anchor bolts, drain the toilet, and disconnect the water supply. First the value doesn't stop the flow of water totally, Run done stairs and cut power to the pump. Second, bolts won't come loss. have to cut them off with wire hacksaw blade. Bolts in floor won't come up because someone tiled over them and cemented them in place. Now, I have to rip up floor and replace with new tiles. Run to Home Depot and get more supplies. Tile floor, replace gasket seal, replace toilet and go to reconnect the water supply. No, I don't think so, new toilet is 1 inch higher then the last one and the pipe doesn't reach. hardware store is closed and I have to go back to Home Depot. Buy fittings and pipe. Install new fittings and pipe and turn on water. Toilet looks and runs great. 30 minutes turned into 6 hours.
Had Pop Tarts, cold pizza, and a bowl of peas for dinner. HMM GOOD
An to think I was a chef in a four star restaurant for twenty years. I would have had hot dogs with american cheese on toasted buns if I had any hot dogs in the house. Cooking for yourself sucks!
