we started out when I was 34 and he was 23
Somehow I misread that as Liese posting this and was like "wait, have you been lying about your age forever??" Hah!
Please...Wesley...why can't I stay?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hahah, busted, meara! I have totally been lying!
No, I met the SO when I was 16 and he was 23. We were babies!

Home from the wake. My great-aunt was understandably taking it hard. They would have been married 65 years this year. I can't even imagine that.

The plumber's son (also a plumber) was here an hour longer than estimated. Which probably means the bill is going to be larger than the estimate. It probably would have gone faster if his dad had stopped calling to find out what was taking so long.

They should bill you the estimated amount.
Wow, 65 years is a long time. So often one follows the other pretty quickly because the stress and grief wallops the immune system.
And how are you feeling, sj?

I'm okay. I find myself alternating between fine and bursting into tears with little provocation, and I'm very tired.

No written estimate and it was more of a range. He did tell me up front that the labor costs would go up if it took longer than expected. We worked with this guy before, and I liked him in the past. However, his son was really unprofessional. So, we'll probably use someone else in the future.

If the bill ends up being more you should complain that the usual person would have finished quicker. You likely aren't the only person that has had this experience.

It's the owner's son who did the work, and honestly I don't have enough spoons. We'll see what happens.
