We’ve had a successful day of work already, the big item on the to-do list was installing a bidet for my wife. The job kept getting post poned due to one thing or another, I was sick for about two weeks, and like I’ve said the longer something sits on a list the scarier it becomes. Plumbing work is always scary, there’s the fear that once I take the system apart that I won’t succeed in putting it together and water will keep flowing until my house is sunk. Thankfully there doesn’t appear to be any leaks, I’ve gotten meticulous with plumbers tape and owning a basin wrench is a big help. It’s been said that if a job is hard it’s because you don’t have the right tool, the basin wrench makes all the tight quartered bolts easy to turn. There’s also a good deal of physics at work, that being the creation of torque in a small space and even how the wrench head grabs the bolt while twisting. The weekend went well, my sister in law was visiting and having guests is always tiring, but we stayed around the house. We began planning a trip for some of my family to visit and that will be a lot of fun to have a full house, very tiring too. Today is the beginning of no more bottles for my baby, it’s been a long time coming, with the move and sicknesses that also kept getting delayed. The switch has already happened though and there will be no going back. Apparently staying on bottles too long causes problems to the kid’s teeth, my wife said she started to notice it, so I’m move driven to commit. I cut some flowers from around the house for Mother’s day, feel free to enjoy.
