new faucet


and here it is....... we had an emergency yesterday, i was sick most of the day (IBS) and had gone out on the deck to try and warm up with my wool hat on my head (it was 80 degrees) when i heard the smoke alarm go off. now before i'd gone out i hooked up the dishwasher to do a load of canning jars..... i went into the kitchen and saw a FOUNTAIN of hot water spewing out of where the faucet used to be!.....not to mention the entire kitchen flooded....i couldn't get the smoke alarm off.. i couldn't get bernie is
oh man
well i did get the water off and got a bit burnt...
finally got bernie in, he took the battery out of the alarm and then he got pissed...... and more pissed and more pissed...... we got the new faucet.... naturally he didn't like it... cause i told him i wanted a single lever....he told me that was stupid.  I DID NOT HIT HIM, but boy did i come close.  after all it's MY kitchen and i spend the most time in it......not to mention that i do most of the cooking, all of the canning, freezing and preserving, and most of the dishes etc.
well it's in...... but not after a million tantrums on his part.
i don't have a hook up for the dishwasher now.... and i don't have the bottom part of the faucet either...... but i have sink water and a sprayer that works
(my old sprayer kept breaking and he wouldn't replace it)
 meanwhile i was at shoprite for the ronzoni sale..... .67 a pound.....i got i think 30 pounds, which should do me until the next 67 cent sale.......
unfortunately the pastina wasn't on sale.... but at least the angel hair WAS.......
i also got some expensive sweet peppers to roast peel and can...... red, yellow and orange......i think i'll do them in layers
now today i have a massive sinus headache..... but i think if i can get it to drain, i'll be ok
i do need to finish the kitchen .....(excuse me while i have manical hysterical tinged bitter laughter..... i am to the point that i am thinking i have to do the kitchen myself)

right now however, bernie seems to be taking birds out.....
i am going to have another cuppa and see if i can feel a bit better.....
then i will get dressed...... go back to home depot and try to get an adaptor for the hookup
and finish the kitchen
