04/24/18 - On 4/20, I got up and started to do some packing since Robyn will be home late this afternoon.  I needed to meet Aunt Ada at 11 15 am at the church since there was a Spring Women's luncheon.  We had a nice lunch and the pastor's wife was the speaker.  It was very good.  I then returned to Robyn's house to finish packing and making sure Cookie was fed before I left for Aunt Ada's house for the rest of the afternoon.  I went home at around 4 45 pm.  I didn't do much unpacking but of course put away the refrigerator stuff.  Later in the evening, I noticed I  had some water sitting on the floor around the commode!!  I wiped it up and sure enough, I have a leak.  I turned the water off for the night.

4/21, I turned on the water long enough to fill some half gallon milk cartons and then turned it off.  Did some cleaning and ran some errands.

4/22, Turned the water on again to refill cartons and now the leak is even bigger!!  I was able to take off the clamp and re-clamp but that didn't help either.

4/23, Called the repair man and asked for a schedule ASAP since I was tired of living out of cartons and of course no shower for the past two days and the weather is warm and I am just unhappy!!  He was very good and told me he could be over in about an hour and half.  I was so glad.  It took about 45 minutes but I was repaired.  I then learned when he put the new seal in the commode on 4/9 that he cracked a fitting so I got repaired for nothing.  Now, I am all back together.  Left for Aunt Ada's around 1 15 pm since we are working on a puzzle.  Albertsons had ice cream on sale and she wanted me to stop and get her one.  We got quite a bit done on the puzzle but this one is all flowers with colors everywhere and the pieces are cut so different so has been a challenge.  We had dinner together and then back home.

Today, will clean up the bathroom since I am repaired, run some errands, check with a couple of optical shops to see how long it takes to get a prescription filled so I can make some plans or summer travel.
