One step at a time [Sep. 13th, 2005|05:01 pm]

So, about two years after I had my shower ineptly fitted by a useless shower of wankers, I've finally got around to getting another plumber in to look at fixing it.  They dropped in just now, took a quick look at it, did the whole "sharp-intake-of-breath" thing, agreed with me that the people who fitted it shouldn't be allowed to touch bits of wood, and told me that to completely rip it out and reinstall it would be a two day job.  He'll get an estimate to me in a couple of days.

This is going to suck up the money I inherited from my grandmother, but it has to be done, and I'm glad I'm finally getting there.

Next - defrosting the freezer, and then sorting out dentist and doctor appointments.

Big stabby things - definitely the best way to defrost the freezer ;) That's what Rachel and I did to Guys - much more fun than letting it melt!!

_Letting_ it melt? Enforced melting! That's the way to go - I boil pans of water and put them in. Defrosts the whole thing in half an hour.

Pfft. Why do you think we bought a small welding torch? You just have to be sure not to let all the water melt, otherwise you get the black smelly areas like we did :P. And aarrrrg! I've just remembered! I missed my dentist's appointment! It was for august....last year! Grrr....

I envisage a Soap-Opera-isation of our lives, in which we will be caught in a constant state of stressfull flux, never quite achieving an ending to any of our stories, but instead gaining ever more plot lines until our lives are too complicated to keep track of without some kind of novelisation.

sounds like the current series of 6 feet Under (in which charactres now knowingly refer to intensely unlikely series of events in a sort of Italo calvino way)
