one of the toilets is filling super super slowly. i noticed it yesterday but it wasn't very bad. today it's taking like 15 minutes for the tank to fill. so something is definitely wrong.

also, more fire weather. we really need rain and less wind.

BlackCurtains:
Ha, that's so weird. My tank didn't fill at all so I had to bump the floaty thing. It's working fine now.

Fixing stuff in the tank is pretty easy. You might have a kink in the line that the water comes out of, or a mineral blockage or something. You should be able to find tutorials on YouTube and most of the parts are inexpensive :)

We're also dry and windy, under a red flag for burning.

An update on my previous post: My uncle sent the money this morning and I'm about to put in an order for Walmart. I'm craving dark soda. My head still hurts but not as bad as yesterday.

Beth3346:
yeah we have really hard water so according to YouTube there might be build up in the fill valve line. my husband jiggled the line and now it's filling. but we're going to replace the fill valve to be sure. it's never a good time to have to wait 15 minutes between flushes :D luckily i had a bucket and a hose.

today i'm just feeling mentally tired. the project from hell at work still has the same old issues. and i feel like my team is always asked to make changes or deal with other's drama and none of our concerns are actually addressed other than people agreeing our concerns are valid :huh: it's been 2+ years of this.

BlackCurtains:
I'm sorry you are still dealing with that work project.

I have a lot to complain about today.

Allergies, very bad. I'm having trouble breathing at night still and there's a lump in my throat that won't go away. Pollen is high and the wind keeps blowing into my bedroom. The palm tree right outside has flowers, so I'm getting a direct hit :( Last night I seriously thought about closing the windows and putting the AC on, but the weather itself isn't that bad, a bit warmish, but still cool at night. Plus, I want to keep my electric bill down.

Speaking of bills... my Comcast bill is $129 for some reason. I'm supposed to be under a contract that gives me 50% off making my bill $65 a month. They are also charging me $12 for unreturned equipment but the only equipment I have is the X1 box and it's in use, so I don't know what that's about? I have the Flex which is a streaming box but I don't have it hooked up. It might be that? But it's supposed to be included in my plan so why would they charge me extra and call it unreturned? I keep meaning to call them but since I can't sleep at night, I'm back to being a night owl (I never really corrected it) and I keep sleeping through my alarm.

I also need to call AT&T and I've been saying that for months now. Comcast offers a mobile plan so maybe I can get a bundled deal with them. I finally figured out how to transfer voice mails to my PC so I'm not worried about losing those anymore (from my dad) so switching Sim cards isn't a problem. I don't know. I like AT&T's service, have zero complaints, and my parents have used them since like the 70s when they were Belltone or whatever. I basically inherited my dad's account. I would like to keep them but I need a cheaper plan. I'm not sure who to call first? Well obviously, I need to talk to Comcast about my bill, but about the phone, I don't know. Maybe see what kind of deal I can get with Comcast and then see if AT&T has a cheaper plan for me. Sigh... I hate adulting :(

My mom keeps accusing me of using her money or as she puts it "sucking up all my money". She gets 160 a month. $29 goes to her phone bill and the rest I buy groceries for her that she wants. She makes a list and tells me what the items are and I add them to my Walmart account and have them delivered to her. Sometimes she buys something from Amazon. Anyway, every month towards the end she asks me to buy her stuff and I say you don't have enough money and she thinks it's because I spend it. I've tried explaining how expensive groceries are and while I get free delivery, for Walmart orders you still need to tip the driver. She doesn't get it or always forgets. I'm not spending her money. I was when she was getting her whole pension because she said I could but now Solaris takes all of that too leaving her the 160 she's "allowed" to have. She says, "I only got a few things." but they are not as cheap as they used to be! I add her cans of V8 and a couple packets of soup and it's already twenty dollars. Then she wants chocolate on top of that and tells me "don't be skimpy". The family sized bag of Hershey kisses is like $8. I don't want to deny her the things she wants and enjoys but I can't make her understand that after her phone is paid that 130 doesn't go that far.

Ugh, there is more but I'm tired of typing :(

Beth3346:
:hug: :hug: :hug:

yeah i'm starting to realize that this project will always be terrible. every single thing we propose to fix it is rejected by the people who run it. at some point it will fall apart. i'm very tired of these people raising my blood pressure every morning.
