Have you ever tried to hang a medicine cabinet all by yourself???? I have, and I did. But it was like a total bitch. You need 3 maybe four hands, so I'm using hands, elbows and my shoulder trying to get this thing up. Why am I doing all this by myself when there is a guy that lives with me? Well for that reason exactly. Because there is a guy living with me. He kept saying on Saturday we're gonna do this and on Saturday we're gonna do that. Cause of course Saturday is MY day off. He has every day off since he doesn't have a fucking job. So we just put everything off until today, stuff we should have been doing yesterday and the day before and the day before that, all got left for today. So when he called me at work yesterday to say his friend Cris had called and wants him to go to the river fishing with them last night you can understand why I was a slight bit ticked. Cause that pretty much meant either I wasn't going to get anything done because I have Austin by myself, or I wouldn't get anything done because I didn't have any help. But I wasn't going to let any of that stop me. I mean its my day off but school is right around the corner and I mean like the 23rd is a week from Monday. I don't have time to just fuck off when I need to be getting all my shit together. I called my mom and asked her to keep lil man for a while today so I could at least accomplish something. I love my kid but he makes me doing anything nearly impossible, take twice as long and look like shyt cause I fucked it up 3 times in a row while he's trying to climb on the chair with me. Can you see where I've got some experience with this??? She loves keeping Austin for a few hours, its about all she can handle since her health isn't great but if I don't take him over there because I'm trying to help her out then she'll randomly stop by and just take him. So I've accepted the fact the SHE'S excepted that she's living on borrowed time and she's going to live it to the fullest. I admit she's got more time now since they put in the defibrillator but now they are worried that something isn't right and sending her to a NEW doctor. So I came home and accomplished a lot actually. I hung all the family pictures on the wall, hung up my shelves for my knicknacks, hung up the medicine cabinet and then went ahead and set up the first bathroom. I know it doesn't sound like much but its not easy hanging 15 pictures by yourself, you've got to double and triple check it (well I do anyway) and get up on the chair, then get down, then back up. Its a pain in the ass. It's great when I have help because I can just yell is it level and he'll say tilt it this way or that way. We have a laser level thing, but I'm awful with it, the line always looks crooked to me, no matter what the level says. Maybe its because we have slanted ceilings, I'm not really sure. I just know it didn't look right at first, then sometimes I would just put the nail in the wrong place. I also tend to forget when you hang a picture there is space between the top of the picture and the hook that it hangs from so I screw that up too. I'm wore out, but I've got a bunch more to do. So I'm grabbing some juice, taking a break to type this and be whiney, then its back to the grind. I'm going to tackle some more boxes I think.
