Oh no... this morning when I took my shower, the water started to gather... wasn't draining. I was totally bummed. Ok. These things happen... while washing and rinsing, I'm coaching myself - "it's no big deal... those drain-clearing products aren't good for old pipes but they'll work... especially if i use lots of water w/ product... and, if worse comes to worse, I can always call a plumber... what did I do to clog it so quickly? Only been in the house a few weeks... well, perhaps 6 weeks, but still... Rats. Ok. This is what you need to deal with as a homeowner... you're a big girl, you'll get through it...No biggie."
Ok. Got out of shower. Totally ok with spending $100 to have a plumber come to the house to fix pipes...
...looked down, and saw a bottle cap (from shampoo) in the drain! BEST NEWS!! as far as I and my wallet are concerned, that was the BEST kind of shower clog to have. Cap removed. All fixed. Looking forward to tomorrow's not-so-stressful shower session :)
In other news... am preparing for my trip... time is sneaking up on me... and I know (deep down inside) that if we were to add 1 or 1.5 hours to each day, we still would pack it full of things to do... so there would really never be enough time. Must work on time management. I'll make a list of additional things to do when I have time... that will be numero uno.
Anyway - worked late (to prepare to leave), came home and immediately mowed the lawn (always takes longer than I anticipate - probably the tree in the back yard... messes up my mow-pattern-technique), then went to the clothing store (had a $25 off coupon!), to the bookstore to buy 1st b-day gifts for babies of friends I'll see on my trip, then to the grocery (to get makings for sweet/sour chicken - friends over tomorrow night... i figure if i entertain fairly often, my house wont' get too messy)... and now it's just a matter of paying bills - so the water isn't turned off in my absence! ...taking out the trash... and making dinner for tomorrow night. oh, and laundry... but that's always a work in progress.
hope everyone is doing well... I'm on my way to bed, but most of you will be up in an hour or two... take care and enjoy your day! You can do it! Whooo-hoo! Yae team :)
[**update** dinner is prepared... just need to turn ON the crock pot in the morning and cook for a full 8 hours. laundry is coming along... house will easily tidy up tomorrow... Haven't paid bills yet.. perhaps I'll bring them on my trip??! if that's the plan, best find them quickly, 'eh? Procrastinator? where? I don't remember seeing someone who procrastinates... nope. Nuh-uh. ...have nooooooooo idea what you're talking about...]
