#the plumbing over there

[demigods-posts]

headcanon that percy and annabeth host a 'Grover Appreciation Day' once a month to remind grover how much they value him. they have a picnic out in the strawberry fields where they talk about their future and grover's role in it. they talk about getting married one day and asking grover to be the best man. they later explore the city and take pictures in place they definitely shouldn't. they go to lunch and cause harmless mayhem like they did when they were younger. they end the evening with a movie marathon of all of grover favorite nature documentaries and fall asleep cuddling together on the couch.

#annabeth bringing a purse to lunch so she can sneak breadrolls and butter into it #and percy messes with the plumbing so she doesn't get caught #and grover facepalmimg because he mentioned he liked bread one time and now they'll do anything to make sure he has it #and percy and annabeth definitely fight over who gets to cuddle hrover in their sleep #so they set a timer to alternate #and grover almost cries tears of joy #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo text post #pjo #pjo headcanon #percy jackson #annabeth chase #grover underwood #percabeth + grover #the og trio doing their thang #i love grover #we love grover #so do percy and annabeth

Hey, you're not going to be responsible for the other pipes, right? Like, neighbours' pipes or something?

no I don't think so, there would be no way to prove which tree the roots came from first of all and second of all damage to other properties caused by trees on our property is covered by insurance! so even if somehow they did trace the roots directly to that tree we'd be covered.

#also and somewhat unfortunately we have to get rid of the tree when we can afford to 😔 #probably during tax season because itll be over $1000 at least #plumbing problems

the water in my apartment has been revealed to be. dubious. so i'm literally pouring boiling water over my- already cleaned in dubious water- dishes before I use them, to make sure they're clean judaism strikes again

#judaism #i need a saying for the emotion that's like #dammit you knew something #and ive just realized it viscerally/practically in my real life #me: oh f*** the plumbing's borked I have to pour boiling water over everything now #me with the kettle in my hand: wait a sec. this feels familiar. oh right- #for similar reasons i'm also not washing my hands in the same room as I use the toilet #im like. dammit. DAMMIT. i knew but now i KNOW #i'd read the stories but now i have a story to Tell

maybe i like spn's effects so much bc i was raised on buffy and charmed

#shitty early 2000s effects i looooove you #they're so bad but they're charming #also when its not cgi spns effects are decent #and its FUN and CHARMING when they drywall over wire and pull the wire out to create the hookman effect #or the fake skin suit they had jensen rip off of himself #or the fucking plumbing he has to wear when i gets ripped apart by hell hounds #anyways i'm watching the buffy pilot for the first time in 10+ years #lea speaks

[cattailtales]

I do have to say tho I love the way they like. Completely overlooked the fact that house choked out a patient but were gonna throw him back in the slammer over “felony destruction of property” or whatever like. How dare you break our expensive machine >:( fuck that kid tho

#the Finding His Fingerprints all over the Sopping Wet Paper Mush they pulled out of the plumbing was an. interesting ass-pull #to say the least #house md

being normal as a baseline is so funny after a whole life of having an anxious base bc now im like. wow i get anxious over so much stuff huh

#this maybe sounds like im still anxious all the time but its not #well it kind of is in that i just become anxious over lots of random or little things #vs until like four years ago i was just anxious all the time literally constantly so i didnt even register anxiety spikes #it was very bad 👍 #ugh though real downside of wfh is ive eroded my tolerance to social anxiety again so its so much harder to just. go to a store or smth #anyway i cant sleep over a minor plumbing issue that i know is getting fixed tomorrow its just really funny to me #like huh. thats why im all nervy and jumpy...ok...weird thing to get hung up on but alright!

[itspileofgoodthings]

the answer to the question of why I am this way is very often anxiety

#I know it’s not my personality etc. etc. but truly never been able to so clearly see how much anxiety I have #until this year! #my very matter of fact counselor: your base line level of anxiety is very high #me: surprised pikachu face #anyway it’s kind of helpful to just see how it has exacerbated so many things over the years that I used to just think …. Was me #and like. It IS. But it’s also a bent/slant/wiring to my make-up that is separate from me #so it just makes sense. like yes I am sensitive and I hate when people say mean things about things I love #but the panic I feel when people don’t agree or word something harshly???? that has manifested physically in me for my entire freaking life #that’s not because of how deep my attachment to it is or some weird psychological reason bound up in the wording of the hurtful phrase #or in the thing I loved itself #Like I used to think it was #It’s just …. anxiety #i don’t have to intellectualize all of it. some things are just triggers and it sets things in motion #it’s hard to know what the triggers are and it’s also funny to reflect on what can be #because I am a very specific fiercely attached funny little bean with a very definite history that has shaped me #but just trying to plumb the depths of every situation that has ever hurt me to try to find some deep truth about why I’m hurt #And what reality I’ve touched on that is causing me pain #It just isn’t what’s happening. It’s pretty simple #I honestly had this breakthrough once about Taylor and why taylor criticism made me anxious #Like I just always externalized all of it in that i would be like it hurts me because of the way taylor is or something #but there was this one moment where it was like it’s upsetting you because of you #But then I put it away and went back to analyzing the world and her externally lol #Anyway it’s going to be a journey! But it does feel pretty big that I’ve been able to reach it here #Also it’s so weird because it’s like shouldn’t I have known earlier? Shouldn’t other people have known earlier? And many DID #but also. I don’t always display it well #I make eye contact! I smile! I speak confidently!!! #And actually a lot of people are like ‘she’s fine she can handle this’ and it’s like I can’t I will DIE #I was talking to Maria the other day about this and she pointed it out to me. #I don’t look vulnerable and I don’t look like you can hurt my feelings by being like ‘I don’t really care for Kylo Ren’ #But you CAN and yes that’s the deep love but it’s also the anxiety! I think it’ll just be learning to balance those things in me. Not erase

[fideidefenswhore]

I think the more pertinent question here is… why do you care so much ?

#i mean… right ?? #like how does it effect you… personally … #beyond a Netflix series being made about her . two years ago #which nobody made any of you watch … #and yet all of you… watched . #(whereas I have friends that are actual ‘Stannes’ that never finished the series lol) #to complain about how coa wasn’t young enough or hot enough or sanctified enough or redhead enough or beloved by henry enough … #and/or to complain about how anne in the series didn’t like the woman her husband was cheating on her with … #or whatever the fuck else you plumbed the depth of your collective persecution complex…to keysmash outrage over. #curious minds want to know. if you only want to hang in fandom spaces where AB is either #reviled and/or not the focal point those do exist . they’re mainly on the greyscale side of Tudorstagram #and they’re boring as fuck . #but they’re like … there … if that’s what you waaaant …. #and there are plenty of books that - imo- underrate #altho this crowd would judge ‘fairly rate’ i suppose — anne as an influence and figure … #which condemn her character ; her choices ; which discredit any reports which suggest #her intelligence or kindness or charity or talents or charm #like that’s all out there . if that’s really what you want . #it’s disingenuous to act like that perspective is not out there #it might not be the most prevalent . but if you seek it there’s plenty to keep you occupied #and I’m not even talking fictional….

Things that happen at work:

So, it’s Head Plumbers last day, and this is what I made to celebrate. Shepherds pie (technically a cottage pie) and hay stack cookies (I call the moose scat cookies) it turned out pretty well overall, but I did get some legit critical comments from my work children that I treat my plumbers better then I treat my mechanics. Which is a fair point that I do need to work on.

But I did get compliments on my cooking, which is…rare. And not because I rarely cook, but because my cooking is rarely good.

Basically I can do nice tasting things with ground beef and potatoes (provided onions, garlic, butter and salt), or bacon and eggs, with maybe potatoes and butter. And that’s it…my cooking knowledge is strictly in prep and dump, maybe fold into pre-made dough, casseroles and meat pie…

These are also his favorite cookies that I’ve made and Head Plumber definitely made sure that my mechanics felt deprived of “Christmas cookies” and I had to jump in and be like “I made these, now, specifically because you like them most, they are NOT the only thing I make during Christmas”

It’s honestly cute how he likes to just stir the pot, regardless of status. I respect and admire him for being a genuinely kind and empathetic boss, but it takes really a special constitution to take his jokes.

He genuinely likes being called out on his shit, no matter how left or right it swings. He loves being correct about plumbing more than he loves getting promoted…part of the problem now, honestly.

Regardless, I’m absolutely going to miss this fucker, and I’m so sorry I didn’t know him ten years ago.

#humans are space orcs #head plumber #wishes #he’s about to retire #the bonds we forge over literal shit #do you have any idea how many times you have to ask a plumber to Wash His Hands #WASH YOUR HANDS #plumbing #I love my plumbers

OMFG!!!!!! I’m dying at those shorts on Roope!!!! What the actual fuck?? Who allowed him to wear those out and about on planet earth to torment us so with his f’ing jort dick SAUSAGE?!?!?!?! It’s everything and more than I ever could have wished for. 😇🙊

(Also, that dick sausage is fighting for it’s DAMN LIFE inside those jorts! Never change, Roope.. King shit! 😤)

NO I KNOW when i got the initial anon i was like well surely it can't be his WHOLE DICK. just OUT THERE. and i have never been so happy to be proven wrong... whole hog tenderly cradled in those shorts for the whole world to see

#we're having an absolutely horrendous plumbing issue at my store (water all over the floor) (no running water) (it's bad) #and this is providing me w so much joy.... #asks

[qvietspvce]

i need you all to know that there was an incredibly cute sparky on site today and i kept my flirting to a minimum because my mum was there but dear lord i was distracted

#i’m a plumbing nepo baby and i admit it #i’m forever my mum’s apparentice #he was called connor and had the most beautiful eyes #did i spill tea on myself when he put his arm over my shoulders? #yes yes i did

[endlessnightlock]

having medical tests done is so stupid. it’s like “I hope they find the thing” but really you don’t want there to be anything there in the first place to be found

#it's the whole midwestern you don't want to inconvenience anyone over nothing #I'm the opposite of a hypochondriac by the way #need to get a good grade in ultrasound #srsly its nothing I'm worried about my lady plumbing was just prone to cysts and such in my 20's/30's #I've just convinced myself my doctor is probably going to want to do a hysterectomy lol and no one has given me any such indication #having an overactive imagination is only good for writing stories not r/l #but now I'm being a grouchy bitch who needs to stahp

Whoever buys the house next door is genuinely going to get scammed and me and my neighbors keep trying to warn perspective buyers and the real estate lady hates our guts aoskdkkflsldll

#the house genuinely was in a condemned state #that was suggested by multiple contractors to just tear down and rebuild #and we know this cause the family that had been renting it offered to renovate it in order to start buying #but as they started trying to fix it the landlord evicted them #then the land owner scammed somebody else into buying it and that person immediately started #flipping the house trying to keep repairs cheap as shit while over working the workers #like we literally saw them working into like midnight!!! #and even then the visible repairs on the outside are so shoddy and very obviously done in a rush and with little quality resource #so i can only imagine how extra bad it is inside especially plumbing and such like GOD

turned three laundry baskets three bins and a box of clothes into one tall laundry pile, one tall underclothes-and-sundry pile, and a closet full of hung-up clothes. :) now I'm sitting on the floor avoiding getting up because the underclothes-and-sundry pile covers my whole bed (with some help from the stuffed animals) and dealing with it requires moving a table and a storage bin and I don't. wanna. currently

#charlie babbles #do some of the clothes smell a bit like paint? yes. did I hang em up anyway? you betcha #I'll leave the closet open they'll air out #the dirty laundry pile unfortunately includes one of my giant stuffed animals who /someone/ decided to pee on #it's fine #oh shit there were four laundry baskets actually #all of the clothes that were worn and washed over like. the last six months just got piled up #the Depression™ you know how it is #I may not be sleeping still but I AM getting things done #now if only I had working plumbing so I didn't have to do multiple laundromat trips and pay. a lot. to get it all washed. #I would so so much rather have a higher water bill than pay for laundromat water AND the gas AND shuttle it all back and forth

Places Baby P loves to nap:

In a parent's arms

In his broken swinging bassinet

On the fluffy rug in his nursery

Where he doesn't like to nap

His crib

#where's the one place deemed safe to sleep for extended periods? the crib #he's in a screeching phase too so there's so much screaming at bedtime and nap time #the rug thing was an accidental find #he was fussing while we watched my husband work on a plumbing project #so i set him down on a place where he can safely roll around #and he just rolled over and fell asleep for 15 minutes

My in-laws are coming over for cake for my MiL's birthday this evening and I keep having to remind myself that while the house is messy by my standards, this is still cleaner than it was when my in-laws lived here.

I was telling this all to my husband and he jokingly scolded me with "Don't let those New England values get you" 🤣

#Clara desperately wants to clean before people get here but the reason the house is so cluttered is bc we had to empty out the front closet #to get to the plumbing for the bathroom we're trying to finish #and since we're planning to work on it more this evening and Friday/Saturday it doesn't make sense to put it all back to have to take #everything back out #so yeah #trying to remind ourselves that a cluttered house with 'company' coming over is not the end of the world #galactic gab
