Months turned to weeks and my stepdad passed away Friday morning.
He wasn't ill long and died peacefully so all things considered it could have been much worse.
RIP Olaf :wavesad:

My granny died in 10 days and she died peacefully, too. At least they are not suffering anymore. Big hugs :heart:

Puking after Christmas dinner, while two of my nieces were listening outside my bathroom stall. And it's not like I had been drinking a lot (just a cocktail and a glass of wine). I think it was because I drank a tall glass of soda water too fast. Anyway, I thought my nieces hadn't noticed. They were funny and sweet about it :lol:

My toilet is leaking at the base. Not excessively, but there is some water coming out after the toilet is flushed. I tried tightening the bolt but water is still coming out. Anyway, waiting for the plumber.

That happened to me a few months ago; I am the most useless "man" as home repairs go....leaning towards a nuisance historically, but I went to YouTube and pulled a vid found it was likely a worn wax seal and fixed it myself. A month later I fixed my own washing machine too. :banana: Sucks....good luck with it.

The other day, I realized the air conditioning and the high lights of my car (we bought a car) were not working properly. I got the manual out and saw the fuses, and noticed they were all arranged incorrectly, per the manual. So I put them in their right place. The car wouldn't even start now. Got them all back where they were, and the radio stopped working. But the car did start, so I left it that way for a couple of days. Bought some fuses and decided to just try to place fuses randomly until the AC, high lights and radio all worked normally. I placed one fuse and the AC and high lights were now working. I pushed another fuse a bit deeper, and the radio came back.

I spent about 25 dollars buying around 30 fuses and I ended up using just one. That annoyed me a bit, but the upside was too good to get too annoyed by that.

I looked on youtube too, but didn't want to try removing the toilet myself.

The plumber is here now. The problem is the gasket. It was a wax one and almost completely disintegrated.

Well, all's well that ends well....I was terrified I would find water damage to what was an unknown foundation under the toilet as I knew the tiles were cut to form a flush arc around the base. I didn't know if there would be any wood rot or any mildew or worse, mold. It all worked out. :lol:

People who don't do their jobs properly annoy me.
This morning I took my mother to a walk-in clinic to check about shingles. She had a rash on her back that was spreading around to her breast area and stomach. Normally, she would go to her own doctor but he doesn't work on Mondays. Anyway, the clinic wait time was under 30 minutes and the doctor did confirm that she has Shingles. He issued a couple of prescriptions for pain relief and an anti-viral, Valtrex. I took the prescription to the pharmacy to have it filled but the pharmacist wasn't able to proceed because one of the scripts was missing a signature and the other one was missing a code. :eyes:
I'm still waiting because the clinic hasn't responded to the pharmacy about the missing info. What a waste of day. :mad:
