So….which one will it be?

“I drink when I have occasion, and sometimes when I have no occasion.” Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
Ahh this week has been hell.
I don’t know if it’s just me….
Or if it’s just hell.
Side note: I notice that when I drink the correct daily allotment of water, my beard hair starts poking out earlier in the day. FACT!!!

“It is not the ship in the water but the water in the ship that sinks it”
Estimated time for novice: 1 hour
Actual time for novice with stoner house and 70’s plumbing: 4 hours (three separate trips to Lowes included)
Before:
After:
And I’m really not done. It’s leaking a little…..but it’s just minimal drops. Right now I’m putting a bucket under it and keeping the water on. I’m THIRSTY!!

“When I was still a rather precocious young man, I already realized most vividly the futility of the hopes and aspirations that most men pursue throughout their lives.” Albert Einstein
Ahh……..life is unusually cruel and just.
I have to wonder sometimes if some people do make it out alive. (Scientologists notwithstanding)
It’s only Monday, and my planned sobriety has already gone horrendously wrong.
Why is that?
Oh…..
I don’t know.
Not sure if I should wander down the well-lit, comfortable paved road….
or stumble down the dim, troublesome dirt path.
Hm.

“When the horse dies, dismount” Proverb quotes
Yep, I got back on that horse.
Fell off the horse.
Got back on,
Fell back off.
Why doesn’t the horse come with a seatbelt?

“Half the world is composed of idiots, the other half of people clever enough to take indecent advantage of them” Walter Kerr
And I also can’t believe I didn’t check the link from facebook after I posted it.
I’m such a dummy.

“If anything I consider myself non-violent, I’m from the hippy era, peace, love, groovy.” Rick James
I hate to bring it up – since I often complain about it…..
The people who owned the house before I did were stoners.
That’s in and of itself is OK. I don’t mind stoners.
The problem is when you’re a stoner, and you own a home, you end up doing everything……half way.
Any project that I start around the home is guaranteed to take 3 times longer than it should.
The mental defect that they had LAST time THEY worked on whatever it is that I’m working on now – always manages to indicate that it was either poorly thought out, or halfway finished with incorrect materials.
The long and the short of it is that I probably shouldn’t start a project on Sunday evening at seven o’clock thinking I’ll finish it that day.

“Never support two weaknesses at the same time. It’s your combination sinners — your lecherous liars and your miserly drunkards — who dishonor the vices and bring them into bad repute.” Thornton Wilder
Like a high school sophomore, yes, I’m going to upload a picture of my booze.
It’s a quest. Quest for a new cocktail. I’ve almost got enough fixins to pull one off.
Can you keep a secret?
*whispers*
If you couldn’t hear that – I’ll catch you up next time.
I thought I was on the right road. Things were becoming right, I’ve started over cleaning some things, which is usually a sign that I’m on the right track.
Did some house repair stuff, and ……then….I drank a beer.One led to another….
And another….
And now I’m on wordpress.
And I was so close too……
Darn it.

“Be good and you will be lonely” Mark Twain
It’s gonna be a quiet weekend – for a change.
The plan: Stay out of trouble.
So far…..staying on plan.
Unless……of course………….
