Today was good in a lot of ways! Bad in a lot of ways too. My bills were in better shape than I thought! One had a zero balance and the other had a small credit. So, I'm good until next month on those. The water bill and my bug service still needed to be addressed. Enter my father to make things complicated. "Eh, we'll come by tomorrow." he said. One of my bills (the bug service) had a noon deadline, so I called his bluff and came by. He... did not react well. I was also there to try and salvage the new job onboarding process, using family to push the process along and he was not having that either. He wouldn't let me have 20 seconds of peace before trying to push me out.

Anyway, bills are paid with the exception of water and utilities. The onboarding process for my phone job is still stuck in limbo, waiting on the people I've been in contact with to decide whether I can have a new drug test. The specialty warehouse from a couple weeks ago officially said no. The sub shop is accepting applications but not hiring. Why am I still pursuing this job, my dad asks? It's the best offer I've had so far.

The basic repair for my leaky pipe fell through with a useless product. The "plunger" to use the spray was missing and when I had a chance to return it, my day was in full swing. It's fair though. It'll give me a chance to discover where the problem's coming from specifically when the water comes back on. And I've got a more thought out solution courtesy of the hardware store.

Oh, and with the water being out a full week now, I had to give in and ask my cousin to use his shower. For the sake of the people around me. That, of course, reset the "Unwanted Busybody Involvement Clock." and thrilled my dad that he was getting intel again.

Tomorrow, the water bill should finally be addressed! Soon after, I should figure out a fix for the kitchen sink. Hopefully, the phone job will get their act together and let me move forward, since everything's starting to get in order. I also meet with Voc Rehab tomorrow and the counselor should have some tips and tricks for the coming weeks.

And if hope become certainty tomorrow, it will be a good day!
