I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

the dishwasher running.

you may, or may not, remember that my dishwasher has never run since I bought the place. It actually runs, but no water came out and soap never got dispensed. you know the washing parts. I was all ready to pull it out and watch youtube videos to try and figure out the issue and I started tracing the tunes I could see underneath it to see where they go and LOW AND BEHOLD - a water line to under the sink had a SHUIT VALVE. I feel so stupid, but I think that may have been the only issue and I am running it now (it was starting to smell) and may actually use it for more than a dish drain now.

WHEW!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Mr. S had a nightmare around 1 last night, and Gary ended up sleeping in his room with him the rest of the night. I ended up giving Nova her morning pill by myself.(which she spit out after I went back upstairs. sigh)

Gary has gone out to look at new dishwashers.

Our wings are not tired.

DH convinced me that I didn't want to share my car for 3 solid days with my son & gf, so I am flying them up. She's never flown! So she is pretty excited about that part, and nervous of course. So at the end of each long driving day I can dine, swim, and chill alone, which will surely be more relaxing.

Sad news today that DH's brother's MIL is in the hospital with Covid. She is elderly with various issues, but apparently is doing okay. Bro and his wife (an RN) have been tested and are awaiting results. Still, please send a good thought for Mary. She is a truly sweet person, who barely speaks English, and makes us the most yummy Haitian food and caters to us on holidays. She always has a smile and hug for me and nods like she can actually understand me, although I know she doesn't, but she knows I am saying something nice to her, always.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Go msbelle! Finding a valve to open that makes the dishwasher actually run is A+ homeowning!

That sounds like a better plan for the trip, Laura. Health~ma for Mary

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Best thoughts for Mary, Laura.

I was all ready to pull it out and watch youtube videos to try and figure out the issue and I started tracing the tunes I could see underneath it to see where they go and LOW AND BEHOLD - a water line to under the sink had a SHUIT VALVE.

Impressive!!

I did the fucking taxes! Per usual, it took less than an hour, and only that long because I had to re-type my W-2 twice. This is what happens when you have one source of income and no assets.

Oh, you know what's sad? I returned this dress to Target because it was way too short for me. So cute, though! [link]

So cute, though!

Bummer! That is cute.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am only keeping track of the Tulsa rally by what crosses my Twitter timeline, but so far:

  • There were outdoor speeches by Trump and Pence that were canceled due to lower-than-expected attendance.
  • There is a smaller crowd inside than expected.
  • It's possible we have K-pop fans to thank for requesting so many tickets.
