Plumbing nightmares…smiling through it!

The pipe from the garbage disposal was blocked with my carrot peelings! Go figure! The New Apartment maintenance (New Management, in a really creepy way!) shows up 45 – 60 minutes later! Meanwhile water and shredded up carrot peels were soaking into the floorboards under the sink! I hate spills did I ever tell you? HATE!!! I’m using that word here! I tried to clean up but then he comes and the messes continue! Can’t use the sink! Great, good think I’d already cut up all the stew ingredients! Sigh. Love days like that they have this incredible talent of stretching their great atmosphere into the next few days as we deal with “un-get-able parts!” and “Oh I guess I’ll need one of those now” parts which is now making it a 3 day nightmare! Lovely!

I’ve had more conversation with the maintenance man than I really want to have with anyone I don’t already know and love. He’s nice enough, and loves dogs but I’m tired of having a stranger in my apartment 3 days! I hope he finishes up tomorrow, but that would be like asking for a size 6 body by my birthday, which is in February! I will continue to hope and try to get my apartment into some serious shape again. The dog hair’s at least 3 feet deep, or so it feels that way, so tomorrow my vacuum and I will start our on and off again love affair! Then maybe I can breathe again and find the spirit with God’s help to steam clean under the sink when he gets here and finishes the kitchen sink nightmare unless he’s going for a 4 day fix!

I’ve got all these cookies to bake for my sister in Iraq and for my mailman, but at the rate the kitchen’s going that’s a no go! Who knows maybe this weekend I’ll get done and she’ll get her cookies some time in the New Year! Sigh.

Anyways I’ve movies to watch and return to netflix and I’ve got more products to research, so I bid you adieu and as my grandma Cecel always said: “Don’t let your love go wrong!”
