Life sneaks up on you.
I’ve been meaning to blog but shit keeps happening. Literally.
On the heels (or at least within a couple months) of my earlier saga of plumbing (about which I blogged) I’ve had a second and entirely unrelated saga of plumbing. I didn’t need a second bout of the topsy-turvy whirlwind of uncertainty! Nor was it simple to diagnose and fix. I’ve had successes and failures. There’s been the thrill of victory. There’s been the agony of defeat. There’s been the creeping dread of when a thing you thought fixed… wasn’t. Each setback an undeniable reminder that we overclocked monkeys are but a hair’s breadth from civilization’s breakdown (or at least the loss of indoor plumbing).
It always comes as a shock when such things go wrong. It’s a short trip to becoming a defeated over-civilized fool. Eventually, you’ve exceeded your skillset. You can do naught but watch a turd circle its porcelain cage. A foul thing that’s doomed, pre-ordained from its inception, to go down to the black mire which it belongs. Yet it’s clinging to your world. It inserts itself in a place it doesn’t belong. It’s doing its best to stay relevant. It yearns to be a part of your life. It’s infuriating! A stinking loathsome disaster that does nothing but derail your busy day and reduce your standard of living. How we suffer when shit refuses to go down the hole where shit belongs.
But enough about politics.
Forgive the cheap joke. It had to be done. I’ll ramble more in part 2.
LOL your not right 🙂
