The van was only the beginning!

           It was absolutely wonderful last night I was able to lay next to The Goat Man for a bit on the long couch.  Unfortunately there is not enough room for us to sleep all night, but we watched TV together.  The stress tries to pull us apart, but we always manage to find each other.  Some bonds cannot be broken.

            This morning, however, it all started again.  We were waiting on a phone call from a plumber to come find the leak in the house.  He was calling between eight and nine this morning.  At ten I spoke to Kat about his inability to call.

            The Goat Man and I assessed the leaking faucet and began to work.  First, it was a stripped screw.  A very tiny screw that took an allen-wrench was stripped into a circle.  We must have spent three hours on the small screw.  I was doubly irritated by the knowledge that the screw was most probably stripped by the last person to work on the tub faucet.  The last person to work on the tub faucet was Joe.

            Finally, I was the one who got the screw out and we quickly jumped into the rest of the job.  It was a simple job.  First, pull the pin.  Second, remove the old part by twisting 90 degree and removing.  Third, replace the new part and your done.  I think I can safely say that both The Goat Man and I are tired of simple jobs.

            We drove to Lowes four times today and we need to go back in the morning.  When we bought a new screw it has too large a head, therefore, it cannot be put back together.  We started this job at 10 a.m. and we finally stopped for the day defeated by the screw at 8p.m.

            All of us stressed over one thing or another, Kat ordered pizza from Pizza Hut.  She ordered two pizzas with everything.  They told her twenty minutes.  The pizza arrived twenty minutes late.  The first pizza was as ordered, but it was under cooked.  Then we opened the second pizza.  It was only a cheese pizza, so Kat called to complain and they told her cheese is what she ordered.

            Our biggest complaint about the second under cooked cheese pizza was that all the cheese was on the roof of the box.  So, The Goat Man scraped toppings from the first pizza onto the cheese crust and put it in the toaster oven. 

            Now I am going to cut this short because Under the Dome is on and I am going to curl up into my big sexy man’s and watch it…The Goat Man just reminded me that I never told you about fixing the van.  I will have to tell you tomorrow.  It too was a simple job.  We were told just one bolt.
