the good and the bad
okay. so i had a really, really crappy day. check under the cut for the stuff. bad first, then good. and don't say i didn't warn you. because i did. right there, earlier in the paragraph. where it says i had a really, really crappy day. sheesh! learn to read, peoples!!!
so, for the crappy stuff first....
last weekend, mom tells me that our microwave and our dishwasher stopped working. for those of you in the know, we can't survive in this house without either one. most of our meals come out of the mickey mouse. and i abso-fucking-lutely hate doing the mother fucking dishes.
oh, hey. look. its the word of the day. that would be fuck. can you say fuck, children? sure you can. repeat after me. fuck fuck fuckity fucking fuck!
anyway, back to the regularly scheduled wank. so mom went and got a new microwave. no big deal. but the dishwasher is brand fucking new! mom told me she went to turn it on and nothing happened. just a little water on the floor. not a good sign. anyhoo... dishes stacked up a bit during the week or so. she and i decided to do them today. so i was getting things ready, cos i have to have dishes organized or i can't do them. this means no piles in the sink, no mish-mash of things. glasses with glasses, because those are first. then silverware. then bowls and plates and finally pots and pans. sometimes, it takes me longer to get the frigging dishes in order than it does to do them.
so i start dumping sour milk down the drain, running the water with it so i can get everything in the garbage disposal before i turn it on. i hear this noise and look down.
there's fucking milky, chunky water dripping onto the floor.
hey, Ma! looks like i figured out where the water came from!
now, some backstory. several years ago, we had to have a plumber out to fix a pipe. my dad kind of accidentally put a hole in it. however, when the plumber finished, he didn't patch the hole he had to cut in the outer wall so he could fix the pipe. so guess what happened? we got rats. we got rid of them and didn't seem to have problems with them again for a while. but now the city is working on the lake across the street from my house. so guess what? we have rats again. and yes, we've put out poison.
one of those little fuckers has been making a home under our kitchen sink and the dishwasher, which is right next to the sink. and guess what it did? it chewed through one of the pipes... the one that connects to our disposal unit. guess where all that water came from? so now, i have to get a new pipe and replace it. not really a big deal.
but we also have to find some way to keep the damn rats out. i'm thinking some steel wool in the hole should be good. or maybe a fucking bazooka.
we got everything cleaned out from under the sink, sopped up the water and the chunks of milk, put a pan under it and its all good. duct tape truly is a man's (and a woman's) best friend. won't keep it from leaking completely. but it'll at least work until we can get a new pipe on it.
now for the not quite so crappy part....
finally did my taxes today. i was putting it off because i honestly didn't think i'd be getting a whole bunch back. with not having worked this past year... imagine my surprise. i'm getting about about ten times more than i thought i would. which is kind of a big relief. now i just need to get off my ass and get a job. and i need to mow the damn lawn, too.
i think both will take an act of the gods. but there's a new store opening in Coppell and, much as i said i wouldn't go back to it, i can pretty much do it. its better than nothing, right? and its closer to home than the last store i was at. just gotta get off my ass... oh, yeah. said that already.
and finally, a bit of fun. gacked this from leonhart29
