Oh no dc2london, I'm so sorry. Didn't you have issues with flooding/landlord being a jerk when you were moving house a few years ago? Maybe I'm misremembering. Excessive water where it shouldn't be is awful to deal with, regardless. And yes, the water heater busted and flooded the entire ground floor and the landlord told me to just Shopvac it. He let us live with 1/3 of the house having sopping wet carpet for nearly a week. He was a great landlord.

They found the source of the leak, it's the main plumbing stack and SURPRISE! More shit in this GD house that isn't to code. But it's directly above the area where the water was, so the damage will be *somewhat* contained.
Probably going to have to do an air quality test with the asthmatics in the house. The people who sold us this house ISTG.....

My 3yo started gymnastics today and it is TOO CUTE. London 2036 here we come! My kids do tumbling as part of their dance combo class, and it's always fun watching them do the different things. They both totally think they'll be Olympic level competitors someday. But we don't have the money for that.

I got new glasses today for the first time in almost 10 years (I'm terrible at keeping up on appointments and such for myself). Combined with the new haircut on Tuesday, and I look very different. DD2 is not a fan.

After well over a year without visiting a salon I had ridiculous mermaid hair and when I got it cut in a long Bob DD was completely indignant. Girl, I still have long hair, .I just don't have pandemic hair!

Thanks to all of you for being supportive and letting me bitch today. My Trader Joe's FINALLY had peonies (my favorite) so I just put a huge vase of peonies in the middle of my kitchen table and it is bringing me such joy. Also byjove my H got a huge kick out of you teasing him about the ham leg.

Ahhh TJās peonies are the best! I had those on my table last week and was sad when they started dying. The trick is to buy the completely unopened ones and enjoy the magic of them blooming.

Came home from grocery shopping to find water pouring down the powder room walls sooooo now there's an emergency plumber here ripping out the ceiling This 2 days after having to replace the alternator in my van. Yay! Adulting! Oh no! Adulting shouldnāt be so expensive and annoying.

I happen to be friends with the plant guy at my store and he kept telling me he was trying but there weren't any to order It may have been an East/West coast thing. We have had them there for a month or so but there were VERY strict signs at the one TJs that only two bundles per purchase were allowed. By very strict, it was the āsave some for your friendsā vibe.

dc2london, sorry about the plumbing issues. One silver lining is that at least now it will be repaired correctly? And I'm glad the leak was diagnosed quickly. Sometimes roof leaks in particular are so difficult to trace.

Does anyone here work in health insurance? If so, can you please PM me? I just got a whopper of a bill in the mail for my husband's outpatient kidney surgery back in March and I am super confused. Thank you!

Nothing like picking up your child on the last day of school and having your serpentine belt fall off in the pick-up line. 2hrs later, we are home and I'm shoveling all the ice cream at my children so I can have a meltdown of my own in my room. Oh nooooo!!! Ugh I'm sorry.

Ugh, this is not my day. I took dh's car to get taco bell because the convo in the other thread sparked a craving. The second I pull into the drive-thru, it starts a loud metallic screech (not grinding) on braking. Told dh when I got home and he let out a big sigh and said "you are where cars go to die".
He's not wrong. I have rotten vehicular luck.
