    Right now I am still doing both jobs. Long story there. But its kind of good. I can come to the old job for a break. I do nothing here but my personal things really. Rarely I have to deal with people so its mostly my time. Which in a sense is good for me right now. I am not as stressed as I could be if I were there all day at the new place.

    I will be fine. It will all fall together. Thank you.

    Oh and yes TGIF!

    I have been way more cranky then I should be this time of year. Not good. Blew up on the hubby this morning and even told him to move out in my fit of anger. Hee hee I was kidding of course. Not sure he knows that just yet. Some mending needs to be done there.
    Stress!

    Calm down Sunny! All will be well. If it makes you feel better, I am stressed and hate this time of year. I don't think it is what it should be. Anyway, Mend!

    Awwww, Sunny - Change is stressful, even when it's wanted or needed. You're in a brand new house with a brand new job. Add that to finishing up your old job and getting ready for Christmas, and it's no wonder you are cranky. You need some time to unwind - any chance of that? I'm all for long bubble baths, nice music playing, and a glass of wine... at a minimum. :)

    I have a leak!

    Its coming from a pipe in the attic,waiting on a plumber,dam dam dam,I thought I had escaped from any leaks or burst pipes.

    You have pipes in your attic?

    Except for vents and maybe drains for attic mounted A/C gear... that would be very rare here... because that space is not heated or cooled.

    I have two water tanks in there,I think one is for heating (I have an oil burner and a back boiler,I think its called duel heating?) and the other for showers/sinks/ flushing the toilets.

    There's two pipes running side by side,I can't see where there go,but the leak is coming from one of the connections.

    It has made its way through the bedroom ceiling underneath.

    Still waiting on plumber.

    The house is 30 years old,if that makes any difference.

    I take it that's due to the cold?

    I'll bet you have galvanized Cast Iron pipes... common outside the USA. That's about the average lifespan of them I've come to understand from the years I've spent in Italy.

    That can get ugly and expensive if your walls are constructed like they are in Italy, where the interior walls are masonary and the pipes are buried in the walls (some repairs have mounted them on the surface of the walls to save money), VS wood framed hollow walls with gypsum board or plaster that is common in the USA.

    Thanks bear.

    The house insurance will cover the cost its just getting it fixed now before it gets worse,plus with days before christmas and the freezing weather the local plumber is up to his ears in work.

    He called about 10 minutes ago to let me know he had not forgotten about me and it will be after 10pm before he gets here.
