Well, the leak in the washing machine turned out to be minimal but fuck, fuck, fuck the plumber found another problem and there was water everywhere that my husband cleaned up. Now another plumber is here and he is cutting the damn wall open. Cutting the wall open cannot lead to happiness. It is not going to lead to Narnia or Wonderland. It will lead to Ashitloadofmoney. *sigh* 

Google sent me this today. I thought it was rather nice!

It is my birthday today and my sister dropped by even before I was out of bed and dropped off some nice surprises for me. Since my dad is away she also brought by a card (with ca$h!) from my him. My husband gifted me with all the things I love most, a Chapters gift card, chocolates, stationery and a journal. I also got wishes from my aunts whom I love so much. One is my favourite aunt who loves me so much but she has so many struggles in her own life that I don't see her much. One of her issues is she is morbidly obese. She has trouble walking. It breaks my heart because she has hidden herself away from the world for as long as I can remember. The world is unkind to people with weight issues. The world is unkind to anyone different. The thing is, she is the most tender hearted soul. She loves children and they love her. They love to be in her arms and be enfolded in her hugs. As Aibleen from The Help says, "Babies like fat. They like big fat legs too. That I know." My aunt has had a family daycare since the beginning of time and even though she could have retired she keeps welcoming children into her home because she loves them. Children don't judge fat.

And my husband is talking to the plumber right now!  $$$$$$$ They are talking about calling a restoration company! $$$$$$
