Aug. 22: Dishwasher nearly catches fire, have to disconnect power as smoke started to fill kitchen
Aug. 23: Wife has stroke, spends few days in hospital, luckily only speech part of her brain affected
Aug. 23-28 Fought with severely plugged up basement toilet, once I gave up on the do-it-myself effort, roto rooter was not able to get it cleared for the usual $300 so we had to pay an additional $600
Aug. 23-28 (simultaneous) Ran myself ragged being a single dad with 2 kids, and a dog with a bladder infection (frequent pissing in house) and who chewed up bathroom door to the point of needing replacement
Aug. 31: Informed that my mother had been in hospital with failed pancreas, kidneys shut down, unlikely to regain consciousness, and her saliva was causing pneumonia. An hour after speaking with her doctor, I was informed that she had passed away. Donated her corneas about 30 minutes ago.
Hope everyone except Idol has had a better week!
I'm actually doing okay, just maxxed out.
