Where to start?
Thursday night I had vomiting and diarrhea and had to call in for Friday.
By Friday I felt better but got to thinking, "I havent heard the sump pump kick on all week". Yay, 4 feet of water in the crawlspace. So I go down there and hit it with a stick. Yay it works!
Tonight I tell my wife "Tomorrow at work Ill make a list of things we need to do before we put the house up for sale"
15 minutes later as im checking mouse traps in the attic my foot slips off a joist.
"First item on the list is to fix the hole in the ceiling!!"
Then as Im getting ready to shower the sump pump starts running every 30 seconds......then it just stays on.
Back under the house again I find that the sump basin has floated out of the ground. 90 minutes later and I have that fixed.
Maybe we should just rent.

We sometimes need a week like that to remind us that most of 'em are pretty good.

This should make you feel better. In the last 3 months I have had leaf blower puck. Broken rod in wood splitter.septic drain plugged. Water heater die. Atv won't start. (no idea why yet) ben told well is going bad and will need new one in very nere future(not a bs story. I thought it was going south) had the flew and a sinus infection. Just befor that chain saw gave it up and had to replace it. It was 20+ yrs old and it has been worked hard so i got my moneys worth. I probbly for got something. It Has been a tough Winer for me. Even with this I am still thankfully as I know some one has had it worse. Health wise or loss of home or love one. The only one i really need is water. Can split wood with ax,heat water on stove. Can crap in woods. Rake leaves. And walk instead of atv. I may not Like all the options but it is doable. Remember the old saying. "It could always be worse" and it could.
Good luck and hope this makes you feel some what better
