One of Those Days...Weeks??

On Sunday night when I had a horribly sore throat and was just feeling lousy, I ran the dishwasher. Then I noticed (at midnight) nasty water coming up both sides of my double kitchen sink. The only way I could get it down was to put the garbage disposal on intermittently for about ½ hour. Yesterday, I dumped the boys off at school (I mean, I cheerfully saw Joshua off at the door and drove Jeremy to school) and headed to the store to buy some drain cleaner. I poured it in and left to meet Charlee at the church to prepare for school this week. When I came home, the drain was clear! I followed the directions on the drain cleaner bottle and poured hot water down the sink. It was fine for about ½ hour. Then it was clogged again! AARRGG!

I then decided to head off to Home Depot for some heavy duty drain cleaner. One of the workers saw me waiting for advise while he chatted away with a friend (AARRGG!!) and then when he finished helped someone who just walked up to him. I was not happy. Being the passive-aggressive shopper that I am I went across the street to Lowe’s. Home Depot gave me two choices of drain cleaners; Lowe’s had at least a dozen. So I got some advice and went home.

The same thing happened as before, with a little better result. I decided to give it one more try before calling the Head of the Trustees who is out of town (naturally!). Same results, of course. Or was it??? I went down to the basement to throw some clothes in the dryer and my basement drain had over-flown! AARRGG!!! We now have a call in to the Head of the Trustees!
