Whoops, wrong button.

I am very grateful for the work my brother, B, has done. Lots of boxing shit up, lots of landscaping, he was the brains behind the repair of the wall in the bathroom. Lots more too. Thanks B!

I've had to spent a lot of time and energy, imperative, really, being a plumber. Fuck. Lots, lots of snaking about, rebuilt the drain under the kitchen sink, new basket, just... God.

Last night I installed the two lights, GFCI outlet, and switch in the bathroom. It worked and nobody died. I did have to turn the switch over so toggle up turned the lights on. Hey, I had a 50 / 50 chance.

Have enlisted BelovedDaughter to come get her stuff, her stuff that reminds her of her mom, and generally help. I'm happy for her help.

SonofV told me he got a job as a dishwasher. Wonderful. But it only paid 11/hr. And was only 4-10 hours per week, and 20 miles away and no car, so, bus ride over the lake. *sigh*

A few days later, he announced he got on with the local supermarket / general merchandise chain, 14/hr.,20 hrs week to start, moving rapidly to 40hrs, and it's a ten minute walk from the house. And as freight clerk, his shift is from 1200 am to 800 am. That is *perfect* for him, he's probably part vampire.

Well, we're docking now, more later.
