The joy of being broke

So...as everyone is posting things about being thankful for things I find myself feeling down. Yeah, I'm super blessed. I have a roof over my head. Food on my belly and food in my kitchen...and a leaky sink in my kitchen. Yup, that's right a leaky sink. First the left side of the sink leaked at the drain. We were able to fix that. Also we've been dealing with a leak at the faucet. We've replaced the handles and that made it very awkward to use and now impossible top turn off completely. In an effort to conserve water we catch it and store it in various pitchers. Slowly the sprayer speed working too. We tried replacing the sprayer and that did nothing. As if that wasn't enough the drain on the right side started leaking. So a large bucket now sits under the sink and the things that were stored there are in my floor where I trip over them daily... much of this trouble has come from shotty work by city contractors a few years ago that did not put the sink in properly :/ we really need to higher a plumper to come fix this mess, but who has money for that? Not us, not now. Whoever said money doesn't solve problems, clearly didn't have the same kind of problems I do. Ha!
