I finally got around to fixing the shower today and once again it was easy \u00e2\u20ac\u201d after I knew what I was doing. Buying the pieces at the plumbing supply was like going to the dollar store, except everything was closer to $30. I needed two diverters and a shower head. The first diverter makes the water come out of the shower rather than the tub spout, and the second diverter switches water between a regular shower head and a handheld shower head. The old shower head had a massager thing inside of it and that was going bad. Anyway, all the parts cost $144, two trips to the neighborhood plumbing supply, and an eight-mile trip to another plumbing supply. I’ll get to see if it all works tomorrow morning.<\/p>\n

I didn’t get to read all that much today. That’s been taking a lot of my time this past few days. I finished a book full of sand that my sister gave me (Case Histories<\/strong><\/p>\n

by Kate Atkinson) and a Japanese mystery from my sister about pyrokinesis. I haven’t had to buy too many books lately and there are others that were given to me years ago that I still haven’t started reading.<\/p>\n

I saw my next-door neighbor with his kids today and helped him glue a chair back together. He told me that there was a woman walking around the house, in the yard, taking pictures. I’m not sure what that’s about but it’s enough to make a guy nervous.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
