Not a good week. My only goal this week was to paint 3 strips of moulding to slap on the floor in my entryway. Every single day, “something” came up. I won’t go over the details as it’s all minor stuff, but it was just annoying to not be getting anywhere (once again) on the kitchen. Add to that the fact that I had to spend $560 on new tires and a new battery for the car - I wanted nothing more than for the week to be over.
Then came the proverbial whip cream on the ice cream dish of my week. Our sink became clogged and no amount of plunging could unstick the mess - in fact the more plunging I did, the more the sink got filled with water (weird). So i decided to have a look at the trap under the sink. I got the biggest bucket we have, feeling confident there was plenty of space for the water in the sink, and stuck it under the trap. I proceeded to undo the trap from the rest of the plumbing allowing all the water to run into the bucket - sure enough the pipes were clogged with rice noodles - no biggy. At this point the bucket is 3/4 full and I decide to peek up at how much water I have left. The sink is only 1/2 empty! I scream for Carleen, seeking desperatley to stop the flow of water somehow, to no avail. A huge gush of water pours all over the floor - not a problem - when you have a finished floor, with moulding and everything. We however do not have a floor such as this. So, I now have a gallon of water flowing freely underneath my floor, which makes a lovely “squishy” sound - not to mention the fact the my beautiful new floor is completely warped and bubbly now. I’ll probably have to pull up about 1/4 of the floor and re-lay it. I’m not a happy person right now, nor am I feeling very “handy”.
Oh, lets not forget a co-worker who used the “N” word in a conversation with me, twice (yes, I do mean THAT “N” word). What is this the 1940’s? I think I was more upset at myself for only doing the “not comfortable” routine, instead of saying something to him. There’s just no need for that kind of language in any situation.
A final note: something dawned on me the other night - to my knowledge, Kid Rock has not put out any recent albums - this can only be a good thing.
