and all he left behind was an eyelash & three skin flakes

so that wasn't fun!  the Roto-Rooter guy juuuuust left.  why was the Roto-Rooter guy here, you ask?  because i came home to find that my kitchen sink had overflowed aross the counter, into the cabinets & all over the floor!  sweeeeeet.

thank goodness art was here because he heard it pouring, tossed towels on the floor & bailed the sink out into the tub!  so things were not as bad as they could have been.  oh dear, they could have been so much worse...  basically, unbeknownst to my landlady upstairs, a clog in the pipe between the 1st & 2nd floor was causing all her water to back up into my sink, across the counter, into the cabinet drawers & all over the floor.

but it's okay now.  and i have a glass of wine.  and the dishes can wait.
