Good to hear you're getting a little relief from Capt'n Tripps and that you had a nice weekend with your mom.
Hot water heater issues suck. I'm lucky. My other half holds all the general super knowledge of this house.
I sympathize with the body image issues. I have problems with shopping and clothing because of my less than stellar self-image, particularly when it comes to dressing room mirrors. I'm down to one pair of jeans with holes in both knees and a few pairs of dress pants that have seen better days. I can't bring myself to buy anything else until I lose another ten pounds. silly, yes, but it's real for me. My mother doesn't get it and tosses the whole thing off. She's from another generation. She doesn't understand the preoccupation with weight and body image the effect it has on self-esteem.
