Running on Empty
Ever have that dream where you are running down a hallway and it just keeps getting longer and longer...and then you start to panic because there is no end in sight?
The year 2010 has so far been about 3 steps forward and taking 2 steps back. After inviting contractor into our home to do some much needed repairs I find myself 2 months into the new year finding people to repair the shit he royally fucked up. A VERY costly mistake to place any trust at all into this guy.
The list of his fuck ups thus far.
1. Put new front door on- but put locks on upside down.
2. Fixed broken leaking pipe under kitchen sink but neglected to say how he "forgot" to put trap back on properly which led to a broken pipe leading to the main sewage line. Insert 3 days of sewage seepage. 2 ionizers working non stop for 2 weeks to get the stench out AND a $600.00 repair bill from a reputable plumber.
3. Contractor used a concrete saw to cut new hole in house to better access the dryer vent. Broke outside tap clean off. We did not discover this until the snow melted....and then...our new $2500 washing machine shorted out because water was dripping into it from the pipe that had now sprung a leak inside the house.
4. Contractor installed new ventilation for the dryer..see above. Last week the dryer started over heating. Dwayne took it all apart only to discover it was packed solid with a foot of wet lint. Contractor asshole had not re-installed the venting properly.
Last week I called the Better Business Bureau. Lucky for them I am PMS-ing.
On top of all of this..... our doctor, at the clinic where I work, decided to suddenly "let go" the full time girl. Normally this wouldn't concern me except that now I am the "full time girl". Diane and I are exhausted and getting angry. There doesn't seem to be a plan as far as when we will have a 3rd again to lighten the load. I told him I would do this until June, but I don't know if I will last that long.
Ok.
Wake me up NOW!

One More Thing...
Happy Birthday Diane! You are my work out buddy. My workmate. My secret shopper. My Farmers Market go to girl. My call in the middle of the night. My personal assistant. A thoughtful and sensitive friend. I would traipse through the woods in the dark with you any day of the week. You deserve the best of Birthdays!
Love Found
Believe me when I say there is a massive "El Grande" rant about my life rising to the surface. Before I put all that negative shit out there in the universe, allow me to bask in the few moments of glorious goodness that I've managed to hold close in a bear hug.
Took part in a spur of the moment Art Show at Whitemud Library.
Celebrating our day of love with our traditional love pizza's.
Chocolate cake in the afternoon while wearing our PJ's.
Watching Tim Burtons "Nine" ( 2 stars outa 5..)
Walks in the park.
and us...
ok..Morgan and I are feeling the effects of being in the presence of too many carbs...
It was better than good!
