I actually think Monday is a better fun day than Sunday

It's one of those days where I wish Karen Carpenter were A) a stress eater and B) still alive, because if rainy days and Mondays always got her down, she'd be doubly down today. We don't have any dessert items in the house, otherwise I'd totally join her in some cheesecake or apple babka, and then we'd have an old-fashioned sing-along or play Guitar Hero or something.

In response to Leah's surprising question (surprising because if she knew the mundane answer, she'd likely never have asked), here is the plumbing I did on Saturday:

I took out this:

and put in this:

and this:

My hands are still sore from trying to manually remove some calcified, thirty-year-old bolts. I finally cut them off with my Dremel tool. Goddamn, the Dremel is magical. But flying bits of metal and hot plastic? Not as magical. I wore eye protection, but this still happened ...
