Bad News/Good News

No, I did NOT watch CNN’s ridiculously obscene gift to the twice impeached, money laundering, classified doc selling, racist, narcissistic sexual predator. I won’t read the news to see how it went either. I already know that it was 60 minutes of uninterrupted bellowed lies and smirking slams, peppered with self aggrandizing delusions. All of it done in front of a handpicked audience of his cheering, dimwitted fans.

CNN bowing to this malignant, venomous, human shaped pile of rhino shit disgusts me.

In more upbeat, fun news, I neglected to turn off the tap in the bathroom sink earlier this week and flooded the house. Ten was out so my giant whoopsie wasn’t discovered until he returned an hour later. Why didn’t I notice that it was high tide inside the house?

• Deaf here—didn’t hear the water running.
  

• I was in bed reading a solid page-turner and didn’t notice the river flowing by.

Damage report? The worst of it is the kitchen which is right below the bathroom—it’s toast. The drop ceiling needs to be ripped out and rebuilt as well as some of the cabinets. I may as well have the floor replaced too.

Why? The person who redid the floor (the self-proclaimed carpenter, Mr. Fix-It, home-remodel "ace" husband of a woman I knew) effected such a shitty job putting in the tiles that I have no choice. On the two occasions where he tried to correct his overwhelming errors he only succeeded in making things worse. Incredibly, he expected me to pay for all new floor tiles when he said he had to start over from the beginning. Yeah no, dude—I’m not a bank and I’m not paying for new floor tiles because you fucked up the ones I already bought.

I did pay the labor bill but only because I felt sorry for my friend, his wife. They were in a bad way financially (unsurprising given husband's incompetence) so I wrote off the bill as a donation to her and the kids. I've tolerated the banjaxed floor for the past five years.

Essentially, I need the kitchen completely redone (luckily it’s a small space). Big joy-joy. I’d rather not have to shell out the buckos right now but I’ve backed myself into a corner.

I’m trying to see the sunny side of this—there’s GOT to be one! Possible sunny side candidates?

• New cabinets! I’ve always disliked the ones we have.

• The floor will finally be repaired!

• I can put all the cool tiles I’ve bought, found, been given into a backsplash mosaic. I’m psyched about that.

Totally clean good news? A second season of Good Omens  is coming out in July. The first season of the show was based on the fab book Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. It’s about an angel and a demon who’ve been enjoying living amongst humans (go figure). They’re not keen on the whole armageddon thing at all and are quite keen on throwing a spanner in the works. Which they did.

Dunno what season two will be about but I CAN’T WAIT!
