I am here at home typing away on my keyboard while a plumber is happily disassembling my toilet so it will stop leaking onto the floor--sounds like my toilet might have bladder problems. I am counting the minutes and the Cha-ching involved in each and every one. Hopefully my toilet's malady will not be the equivalent of a plumber's version of "So You Want to Be a Millionaire". It's amazing how vulnerable most of us are when it comes to fixing complicated elements or systems in our homes. I've watched countless videos on TV about "How to Fix Your Own Toilet", but I still feel it is a daunting task with lots of room for watery error, so the most adventuresome thing I do is to change the toilet paper, and, if I'm feeling extra daring, I change from white toilet paper to something patterned or colored! Woohoo!
Well, I can hear my plumber friend flushing the toilet and I am further reminded of the money that is waving goodbye to me as it swirls away and down, down, down, never to be seen again. Easy come, easy go. I'm feeling flushed (pun intended).
And just when my delusional thinking was kicking in--I was beginning to think that having the water leak out onto the floor was actually a bonus because my floor around the toilet was extra clean--the plumber finished his job and I'll have to return to using a mop and eating peanut butter sandwiches for dinner until I pay for the plumber's child's first year at college...
