Just had a $225 repair bill for the clothes washer. Bro had mucked with the reinstallation of it, and kept ignoring my pleas (over several months) to do it properly. Well...it keep sticking in one cycle and staying there. The repairguy said bro leaving the pipe hanging down had blown out a pressure thingie, and *might* have damaged the motor and timer/selector switch. They're working ATM, but who knows how long that will last.
Bro acknowledged it was his fault & generously gave me $100 and said 'Remember how good your brother is to you'. Right. If he'd taken 5 minutes to pull the washer forward and properly hang up the pipe I wouldn't be out a DIME. You are too good to me, really, I don't deserve you.
*sigh* And bro keeps leaving the fridge door open, which I suspect is what mucked it up recently giving me another $150+ bill. (The fridge isn't level because when I finally - after a year- gave up waiting for him to fix the floor that got jackhammered up when the main waste pipe had to be replaced- I used what floor-leveler we had, but he refused to drive to the Home Depot to buy another sack so I didn't have enough to complete the job). I have *begged* him to be careful about the fridge door, and still am constantly finding it open- most recently this morning.
Man... I have so got to get myself nerved up to learn to drive amongst the unlicensed drunk druggie cellphone addicted morons that occupy Hellholeah's roads, so bro will feel free to go off and leave me on my own. I bet he won't though. Where else is he going to get free housing and someone who splits all the utility & food bills in half with him even though he uses the lion's share of both? (When he bitched over the cost of one grocery store run, I sorted out the bill. 75% of the bill was for stuff for him, which is about average.)
Great. Now my toilet is turning itself on. Probably needs a new flapper valve. Must get up the energy to see if we have a spare one.
And I had another right side blind spell today... lack of sleep not good for me.
And the attorney *still* hasn't refunded me the leftover $2000 in the client funds balance. I've asked him 3 times now since the beginning of April. On the 20th he said he'd tell his secretary to do it the next week.
And I've a pain in my sawdust. Feels like the ovaries are annoyed. They should be grateful they didn't evicted, but there's no gratitude in the world.
Last night was going to order a static shock pad to keep Tara off at least the kitchen counter (she peed *IN* the toaster, on the fish tank, on a loaf of bread, etc. etc.) but the security certificate on the website had a problem & I didn't trust it. It's $75... maybe I'll phone in the order later. It's a lot of money, but I've got to do *SOMETHING* to stop her. Am running out of options short of Drake's method of ending Doughtie's annoyance.
Am going to try to nap. It's hot in my bedroom with the underpowered ceiling fan bro got me, and he's enjoying his new HDTV (got it today) and his new big screen wall TV (got that a few weeks ago)... hopefully, he'll not put it at top volume. Wish he'd at least get his new computer and new computer desk out of the living room- don't really enjoy looking at the spread-eagle photos of naked women he uses for wallpaper. He *said* he was going to move it over a week ago, but then he said he didn't want to 'have to do twice the work' because he'd have to move it again when I get new windows put in, probably months from now.
And a little table fell apart. Eh, what else is new.
I should pay bills... but I'm too groggy, I'd make them out wrong, or put them in the wrong envelopes, or forget that postage is now 41cents...
*clunk*
