What is the newest thing you’ve tried?
I have been sitting here for nearly three hours just staring at the computer screen looking at this question. I had all intentions of writing a fantastic blog && being so proud. But between the time I sat down && began staring at this screen up until right now, 6:21 PM, my mood was went from okay to sh*t.
Story time that has nothing to do with the daily question.
Every winter my house freezes. Last year our front bathroom toilet decided to explode – so we turned the water off, went to Home Depot, and fixed the issue. This year, everything froze, including the toilet bowl in the bathroom connected to our bedroom. (Although, side note, I did find the toilet leak we’ve had for a bit. It froze too.) All of the sinks froze except for the hot water in the kitchen. My kitchen floor has ice on it, like water got on it, and it froze – we’re guessing it’s from the dish washer.
Tonight, our toilet broke. && when I say our toilet broke, I’m talking that the bottom of it is now sitting on the floor underneath it && the floor is wet because of the water that was in the bowl. Guess what we have to do tomorrow that we can’t really afford? Yeah, that’s right, I have to go buy a whole new toilet && hope that there is enough floor to install it.
What do I mean by “have enough floor”? Well, if you haven’t been here very long, let me explain. So when we moved into this house the two b*tches that lived here (I hope they see this once again) told us that there was nothing wrong with this house. Everything was great! Every. Sing. Word out of their mouth was a lie. I guess that’s what happens when you decide to leave state. Our bathroom floor fell through about two months into living here && I haven’t had the money to fix it. Know what that means? Since 2019, my bathroom has had no floor. None.
Now our laundry room has no floor. The roof leaks. Every single floor in this house has a hole in it.. at least one. If not more. I’m sorry, for the ones who’ve been here for a while, I know I talk about this a lot but I’m angry. This was supposed to me our dream home. Our safe haven. But it’s turned out to be a disaster && I wish I hadn’t bought it. I wish I had stayed in the apartment we were living in that we were paying $1350 a month for.
I was so excited to finally have something that was mine. I could do anything I wanted here. But I didn’t think I would need to fix the floors. But it gets better – around the same time as the floors fell through – our central heat && air broke. Know what that means? Yeah, you guessed it, we freeze or burn up. There is no in between.
You know they told me they just had the air unit fixed. Updated. But it broke after we moved in. They said they just roofed the house. There are at least three leaks that I can’t afford to fix.
I need to win the lottery. I need something. I just need a break. Sorry for the sappy, poor me post, I’m just sad tonight. Hopefully tomorrow’s will be written on a brighter note.
