LOL.....right now, I feel like anything but an awsome person. I feel like I'm just hanging on for dear life & praying to God that he guides me to making the right decisions & try to fix the things I can figure out how to fix & find the funds to make it through each day

Gary,

Ah yes, "the money pit" I have watched that movie many times. I used to laugh when I watched it.....now I cry....lol...not really.....but I can really relate to it. I am just waiting for my stairs to fall down, or maybe fall through a hole in the floor & get stuck between floors. I know there aren't any holes in the floors however, but with the water damage......who knows what's going to colapse.

I was just down in the basement looking around at the leak & the water is definitely spreading.....it's dripping in places where it wasnt dripping before. The plummer won't be here until Monday......I can't really turn off the water to the house cause I need to use it for the toilet & dishes. I thought it couldn't do much more damage in a couple of days than has already been done, but I'm now wondering. I am going to have to figure out how to fix the drain in the other bathroom that has the bathtub/shower & use that one. The problem with it was that it wasn't draining at all. The whole bath/shower mechanism wasn't working & I knew I had to figure out how to fix that....but I had no idea there was anything wrong with the master shower. All it has is a wonderful walk in shower.

I think all those hot showers I was taking when I was having the anxiety attacks caught up with the plumbing......oh my. Just because I was taking 2 or 3 showers a day.....shouldn't have broken the shower....lol.

I was taking a lot of showers also because it was so cold & I had the furnace set a little high & the humidity was so high & maybe I was having hot flashes on top of it all, but I would end up sweating & then I would get chilled & the only thing that helped was the nice hot showers. Then I had muddy doggies & I showered them off in that shower......who knows what I did to the pipes. It got a little plugged up & I used some drano like it said...followed the directions exactly.

Well, I'll find out on Monday just how much damage there is throughout the house. It's strange because the leak is moving from the wall into the room.....I have a roaming leak.....but I think it's the wood & everything getting so saturated that it's just spreading out.

It seems that God is definitely testing me to see if I really am willing to do it alone......or maybe he's showing me that I can & that I am quite capable of taking care of myself. I know it seems that I'm continually being thrown things that I never had to deal with before & I am always provided a way to take care of everything, so I feel good about everthing even if they are challanges that seem beyond what I can handle.
