Frustration
Got up at 10:00 and had breakfast, and coffee. Showered and dressed, and called mashfanficchick. We decided ze was going to come over and help me with the turtle tank, getting the python that I paid $50 for set up.
That requires attaching it to the kitchen sink, and that requires unscrewing the tip of the spigot. I suggested ze bring a wrench to do that.
Stuff happened and it took zer quite a few hours to get here. Meanwhile I did various small things. One thing that happened was that, I decided to hang up (instead of leaning it against a row of books) the small plaque that I have which Oldest Brother gave me that says "A sister is the best friend you can have". And the tack I used to hang it didn't hold and it fell behind one of my bookcases. I had to move the bookcase out from the wall to retrieve it. Thankfully it did not break. I would have been devastated. The bookcase was hard to move, and I couldn't quite get it into the right position when I moved it back.
I'm going to get some Command hooks and use them to hang it.
Anyway,mashfanficchick finally got here, and the first thing we did was try if zer wrench would work on the spigot. It did not. It was too small. So after we discovered that, we decided to take my laundry down (I had gotten it together already) and stop at the discount store and buy something to try and get the spigot unscrewed. So we took the laundry down, and on the way back bought a set of pliers.
To make a long story short they did not work. We were totally unable to unscrew the spigot. We tried the bathroom one too, also a no go.
So we gave up on that and went out to eat. We walked to Main Street, and then to Prince Street, checked out a lot of restaurants and finally decided on a little noodle house. It was quite good.
Then we walked back to Union Street and I waited for the 44 bus with zer, and then came back home.
The FWiB has not gotten his computer fixed yet, so we phoned again. Very nice time.
Then it was pet feeding time, so I fed the pets, and am now doing this.
Not sure what I'll do about the turtle tank, but I'm going to try getting another tool when I have a chance. Not tomorrow, I'm going to be out of the house all day,
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2.mashfanficchick.
3. My plaque did not break.
4. Clean laundry soon.
5. Nice walk in lovely weather.
6. Good dinner.
Edited to add: Forgot to say I had a long text conversation with the Kid. All is well.
