Water Heater Trials...

Holy shit it's been a day. Woke up this morning to a puddle of water in the bathroom floor. Mom and Dakota pulled and tugged until they got the top of the water heater and we discovered a hole in the tank. There was a festival in town today so we had to call several plumbers before someone picked up.

Michael bless him, sent us $400 so we could meet the plumber at Lowe's. We picked up a new water heater and he followed us home. Poor guy had a time getting our old cabinet water heater out. He was done a lil after three and then mom and I headed out to the family dinner. My great uncle Gerald comes in from San Antonio once a year and he reminds me so much of my grandpa so I'm glad I got to see him. My other great uncle's wife told me how fat I was... ugh old cow... I've lost 10 pounds since July and I haven't seen her since before Christmas.

After we left we headed to Wal-Mart and picked up a new mop and a rug to put around the water heater. The linoleum met the cabinet so there was just bare floor we wanted covered up.

All in all it's been a long day. Mom had another fucking meltdown this morning over the water heater, but she seems a bit more like herself now and she actually ate three times today so I can't complain too much.

Dear Universe, please let things go smoothly from here on out. I'm leaving to go back to Phoenix in December and I'm not sure I can handle anymore severe meltdowns. It's driving me insane.
