More Plumbing

The bathtub upstairs has had a leak from the hot faucet that was potentially going inside the wall. I decided to repair it and in the process stopped a mold causing, wall damaging, water wasting, money sucking leak into just a water wasting, money sucking leaks (now on the cold side but definitely not inside the wall).

The leak on the faucet out back apparently self corrected so the water in the house is pretty much under control at the moment.

Time to wash some cars.

Drip Drip Drip

One mosquitoe causing, water wasting, money sucking faucet leak fixed.

I remember moving to New Orleans and being at a T ball game and asking if there was a spigot around because I wanted a drink of water. One lady nearby cackled and said, “I haven’t heard a faucet called a spigot in years!” Of course, I think the whole concept of drawing water from a pipe outside or a hose to quench a thirst would blow my kids’ minds.

Declining Health

I can feel my body trying to decide whether or not to be sick. I’m overcoming and tending toward health right now. I could feel illness in my throat this morning and I haven’t been able to hear well from my right ear for 2 days.

State of Me

Bike repair mode. Current mental abuse: beating self over condition the yard including the quantity of mosquitoes, unplanted dying plants, incomplete French drain, lack of control over overgrowth, uncut grass, incomplete landscaping plants. Also over my inexcusable lack of areas for the children to properly store and care for their toys. My lack of care for their toys such as bikes, scooters, etc.

This Morning

Yesterday afternoon was a blur. My one goal above all was to get to my friend’s house and put a little joint compound on the wall. I did not achieve that. Instead I had a great afternoon with the kids, at dusk we moved Sarah and a friend to the movie theatre for “I, Robot,” then we took Noah and Amy to Fuddrucker’s for hamburgers. When I picked the girls up from the movie I asked, “So, did it inspire you to read the book?” And Sarah replies with surprise, “There’s a book?” Then continues, “no, the movie is better. And it’s easier.” So sad. Cathy and I enjoyed the evening together. For once, I ignored the computer and spent some quality time with my wife.
