On the first, which was the 6th, we mainly ran into Flag and shopped in a very focused way. I got a couple pairs of pants that fit well. But the star purchase, eighty dollars on clearance, was a really nice weight bench.
Also got the water turned off. Mostly. Long and opaque story.
Yesterday on the seventh was a very hardworking and somewhat depressing day.
I completely pulled apart the kitchen sink in preparation for replacing the leaking faucet–success.
I also removed the toilet, and found problems underneath it that I cannot easily solve on my own. I’m gonna need a plumber, at least for an hour or two.
Today was recovery mode. Laundry, and a whole lot of dishes cleaned very well, but without the aid of running tap water.
Tomorrow evening is Albuquerque, and the day after I come back here alone to try to rebuild my drainage utility from scratch, with a dose of professional help, and eventually get the new toilet installed, the water turned back on, and essentially resume some semblance of a normal-looking life.
Plus weight training.
May it all be as simple as finally typing it, and may typing it flow more easily and naturally than it has during this serious time; amen.
Amen, sweet dreams! πππ
