- There is water leaking from the bathroom into the dining room. We think it's the toilet so we are going to the basement to relieve ourselves. This is the second time since we moved in here that going to the bathroom in the middle of the night has required shoes. This time it also requires disabling the burglar alarm.
- We continue to catch mice in the trap in the living room - I think we're up to 5. Plus 2 or 3 in the kitchen and 2 in the laundry room. All this after the wildlife expert/exterminator assured me, in a friendly but vaguely patronizing way that mice don't hang out in houses during the summer. They like it better outside. I guess we are breeding domesticated mice.
-The driver's side window on my car is stuck open again - 4th time since I got the car, 2nd time in 6 months. I don't think I make extraordinary demands of the window - just that it roll up and down roughly twice a day.
- This is week two after the Great Dishwasher Explosion of 2009 and we are still without a dishwasher. Why are white kitchen appliances special order??????
- Due to the day care plague that nearly killed Dave and I, we missed floppy hat night at PNC Park - a game the Pirates actually won, and a mighty cool hat.
Roses:
- We are contributing to the education of American youth by putting our plumber's son through college.
- We are no longer finding mouse poop on the kitchen counters in the morning.
- My car's mutinous actions have not resulted in any more near death experiences, just inconvenience
- I have managed to hand wash our newly sharpened knives without slicing off any appendages.
- We have recovered from the day care plague and I finally have my voice back (after a week of squeaking and being referred to as Dr. Froggy by the hospital page operators).
- Nathan is 6 months old and per his pediatrician doing all the growing and learning he is supposed to for his age. We think he is doing a teensy bit more - learning, that is, not growing.
