Yay February and Portrait of My Toilet

January is over, which makes me thankful.  I do not like January.  It’s dark and cold and Christmas is over.  And this January, the furnace developed a personality.

I find this annoying.  Furnaces should be nice and boring and dependable when it is below zero outside.  They should not be edgy and modern and working out their own independence through a series of rebellions.

Fortunately, I know a guy who can parent a teenage furnace.  Love that guy!

Speaking of that guy, the toilet also needed some attention.  We’re not going to discuss the matter because attention reinforces poor behavior.  Not that it really matters now since I HAVE A NEW TOILET, but this isn’t really a toilet-story sort of blog.  So, let’s just say the flushing is going very well at Chez Stephanie, I love the furnace/toilet master guy,  and leave it at that.  Except that I’m going to include the new toilet’s picture, and I’m going to use the BIG photo:

Hi New Toilet!

I’m excited by reliable plumbing and heating!  This phenomenon is called, “I bought a house.”

So, February.  Yay.  Lots of chocolate in February, which pleases me, but what pleases me more is that the light is coming back!  Sort of soon, it will be April and THE LIGHT WILL BE HERE ALL THE TIME.  Hmm–all caps for TOILET and for LIGHT.  I seem to be a primal creature.  Or maybe a plant.  Anyway, more light means more sun which means more warm and less foot-on-car-to-wrench-frozen-door-open.

I’ve really had it with the wrenching.  Come on, Mr. Sun, do your thing.  I’ll put your picture next to the toilet if you behave.
