Tribulations from Twitter

So, to recap from Monday:

@cleolinda: Diagnosis: twenty year old house, never had any plumbing repairs. Thus, $1500. $800 of it today. I just don't even bat an eyelash anymore.

This week has been at the least kind of weird and out of whack all over, from what I can tell. Hopefully next week will see an improvement.

And washing dishes is big work in my opinion. I'm the unofficial Dish Fairy around here and let me tell you, I feel your pain.

just felt the need to use TEH ICON.

but overall you're on the uphill here I feel.

Slowly more will go right than wrong until one day you'll realize everything is WONDERFUL!

that's my hope for you!

I was thinking that that was the perfect icon for this entry.

Here's to things (hopefully) looking up! The pendulum has to swing back the other way at some point.

You know, I thought I should be proud of myself for surviving 2008. Now I think we all need medals for getting through 2009. Levels of Utter Suck Heretofore Unknown By Man have been passing over people in waves.

I think the only thing for you to do is kick random strangers in the shins, and then go home and torture clean dishes in the dishwasher.

Check your dish washer instructions - there should be a programme that rinses, but you only need to use that if you leave a part load for more than a day or two. I stack stuff in mine as I go along and run a cycle at the end of the day, rather than after every meal - no problems at all.

My mom rinses everything very well (aka washes the dishes) before she puts them in the dishwasher. We just shove them in, wash when full (water miser / no heat dry). Seems to work fine, but my mom just can't compute.

we spent almost that amount up there on a replacement sink faucet and two toilets. OUCH.
