waiting for Sisyphus to finish his set
Apr. 30th, 2023 10:01 pmGoddammit. I just walked downstairs, went to put something in the toaster and went, huh, why is there water all over everything. Then I looked up.
It has been raining here for the past four days straight, so it might be coming in the join where the kitchen meets the main part of the house. The contractor will be here tomorrow so I'll tell him about it.
OR it's coming from inside the house. (The call is coming from inside the house!) I just got out of the shower, which is very close to that part of the room. And I had noticed the drain is getting slow, so it's possible something is backing up underneath. So that means prying the drain cover out of the floor to check it out. (The cover is sealed to the floor tiles with grout, which never made any sense to me. How am I supposed to clean it?)
This fucking house, I swear to shit.
In other news, rent just hit $3000 a month in this city, so ha ha, not going anywhere.

Since it is obvious that I'm not going to be able to use my May vacations for unpacking the storage locker, I've been looking at the calendar and thinking I'll just slice them up and use them for appointments. The Old Man has three separate appointments at two different hospitals this month. I have to get a tooth pulled (ugh) and get some prescriptions renewed and I'm probably a year past due on getting my eyes checked. So I could deal with all that shit.
Also, you know, look up some youtube videos on how to pry the drain cover out of my shower floor without breaking anything.

Accomplishment of the weekend: Getting all the Old Man's medical receipts sorted out for his taxes. I had been putting it off because I knew it was going to be an enormous pain, but I finally sat down with all the pieces of paper that I've been stuffing into various file folders and listed all of it on a single spreadsheet. There was some archaeology involved, but I'm pretty sure I've found everything.
So one more thing crossed off the list.
