Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The contractor started work on our bathroom today. Months ago, when the floor tile started cracking, I told DH I thought the toilet was leaking. I said we could re-seat the toilet and maybe a couple of floor tiles. He was certain it was the floor joists and would cost too much to fix so we had to live with it. Cut to last month, when the floor had shifted so much that tiles were beginning to crumble and we could only get the door open about 10 inches and had to slide in sideways.

We decided to redo the whole thing, which is going to cost about $12,000.00. They demo-ed the floor tile today discovered that the leak was... yup, coming from the toilet. AS I SAID.

The bright side is that I never liked the beige bathroom tile, and it's going to be gorgeous when it's done. We'll be paying for it for a couple of years, but what the hell, we only have one bathroom.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Scrappy, I would not have said "I told you so" but I would have expressioned it loudly. I'm a bad person.

I didn't have to "I told you so." I asked, "So where was the leak coming from?" "The toilet. You were right all along." "Huh."

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Smart husband to admit he was wrong, at least.

...would the floor joists have been more than $12K to fix?? Madness.

Well, no, but I will be very glad to see the last of the beige wall and floor tile. It's a fugly room.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Thanks, everyone, for putting up with my stress-freakout last night. Just knowing that someone was listening helped, a lot.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I've seen my new therapist three times. I chose her because she does DBT, even though she's not covered by my insurance. I'm not sure I'm going to keep going to her; she's just not as good a fit personality- and approach-wise as my last therapist. As I think I've shared before, he's pretty reminiscent of Clinton Kelly from What Not To Wear. I miss the snark and riffing and getting challenged on my BS. I'm going to give her a few more sessions and we will see.

ION, had to call out from work today because I'm getting a migraine. I went to Pilates yesterday, which I like and is good for my core, but seems to cause misalignments that trigger a migraine. So back to bed with a heating pad for me. Blah.
