I feel so defeated. I'm trying to clean up the house and the back bathroom explodes. Again. Apparently something is wrong with the plumbing on the city side so having a plumber come to the house didn't do any good. It's really frustrating because I feel like I can't get anything done. If it involves water, I just can't do it. So no dishes, no laundry, no showers. I can barely go pee. I just want to be able to get things done.
I think I need to find a new hobby. Or pick an old one back up. Maybe knitting. Or photography. I like cleaning but I need something that creates "me" time. What I really want is a huge bathtub so I can take a nice, hot bath every night but the plumbing and such just aren't right at the moment. Ugh, I can't stop focusing on the issues that this house has. It's making me so angry.
It's already after four and I feel like I haven't gotten anything done. I know there isn't anything I can do to fix things but it's still gets under my skin. I really want things to be normal. Well, as normal as the rest of my life is. But I'm still trying to keep up with the whole good karma thing. Good things will come to me. Eventually. At some point down the road. I think I'm going to institute a couple of new life rules. Maybe they will keep me on the straight and narrow. Here they are:
1) No drinking on work nights. I feel like this one is cheating because I pretty much followed it anyway but now it's set in stone. And I feel like that's a good thing.
2) No more dairy. I need to stop having milk products. They kill my insides. They kill everyone's nostrils. It's just bad news all the way around. So I'm done. Even though I looooooooove them. Goodbye my dear sweet cheese.
Two rules is enough for now. Structure is good but too much can be stifling. And so, it's time to get back to work.
