My older sister and I have been trying to overhaul our late parents' house for the last decade -- when it doesn't interfere with our employment, and now it's revved up. Our father never believed in upkeep, just waited until things completely broke down. Right now, it's the toilet. The toilet came with the house. The house is nearly 50 years old. I bought a new one, it just has to be installed. Right now, life has interfered with those plans. My youngest cat has UTF and her petite kidney has three petite stones that have to pass. Moist cat food. The elder two cats would love to have moist cat food, so I've been feeding her guess where -- the BATHROOM! Near where I've got to scrub around the toilet before we can even let a plumber into our house to install the new toilet. I don't know if my situation qualifies to be anywhere comparable to all of yours, but here it is, for whatever it's worth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-33699496473114885092013-02-28T14:55:42.067-05:002013-02-28T14:55:42.067-05:00I am under enormous pressure right now with a book...I am under enormous pressure right now with a book due at my agent's the end of April and I'm not even halfway through it.
