So, I get a divorce from my husband of 20 years. Boring, stable, sex twice a week. I had three affairs, the last one ending the marriage. My ex does not really know this, so don't tell him when you see him. to make it slightly better - maybe I look like less of an asshole - I am still with the last affair, he is my sex-addict fiance. Long story long, because it is my blog and there's no charge for MB, I buy the husband out of the house for $60,000 that I borrow from my parents, and have paid ALL back but $59,500 or maybe it is $59,250 or $59,000 even. I did not really get receipts from my dad. ANYWAY everything in the fucking house is breaking. It wasn't so bad when I had a job, but now I don't have a predictable stream of income. Turns out my husband of 20 years did a lot of maintenance on the house. Turns out he was of a lot of use and now all jobs are falling to me to do, or pay to have done.
The list goes on and on:
The pool is totally f-ed up: cover, pump, filter, and the master drain is leaking. I replaced the salt system, and had the pump rebuilt. I used to have a pool guy, but I can't afford him and tried to do work in trade for him, which went poorly. Bartering is only for certain types of people.
Every faucet in the house leaks
All the door knobs are breaking off - they can't take the pressure of the doors
The garage door opener ate it's own gear up top, not the worm gear, the other one
The refrigerator
Now ta da! The sears kenmore front load washer.
SPECTACULAR!
My dad and I fixed the garage door opener
My sister, dad and I fixed the fridge.
Sears is coming today for $170 service call to look at the washer. I am just not up to it. I don't want to ask my dad to come over and look at it. This will probably hurt his feelings, but it is like asking him to look at a car with a black box. He is pre-black box repair. When cars had recognizable parts. OK - more later when I find out how screwed I really am with this thing.
