This is Dolores's new place. It needs some work. Like cleaning, paint, floors, new kitchen cabinets. She acts like a deer caught in the headlights. No wonder, this is the same woman who let a toilet run for a month and only realized the water wasn't recirculating when she got a water bill for thousands of dollars. I think she needs help.
fair warning: on block island or manhattan or in missouri, we can be a little salty

claudia, thanks for your comment. it turns out we have extremely odd things in common including the tendency to collect dead rodents in our freezers, unending home improvements (i just stained 1000 sqare feet of concrete flooring), and a love affair with cigarettes. i'm slightly reluctant to admit that i cruise at home depot, but it's true that i've consistently been a sucker for for the hands-on and capable sort.
ReplyDeleteseriously though, thanks for taking the time to write something so thoughtful. it meant a lot.
I don't know who you are, but you sound like one of us. Who are you, and can we stay at your house if we are in the area? We promise not to build much...
ReplyDeletedid she leave the toilet running in this place too?
ReplyDeleteNot yet. But i have to tell you that the toilet (and sink) is the most delightful daffodil yellow. And if she does leave it running, I think it's the building that takes the water hit. Que jodienda!
ReplyDeleteso it's people like her that keep those damn maintenance fees so high!!!
ReplyDeletethe living room is screaming for a big plasma tv on the wall, by the way...
