A plumber was promised between mid-morning and noon yesterday. By 2:40 PM, I was getting nervous. The sky was darkening and bad weather was on the way. I called to make sure they hadn't forgotten me. They hadn't. The plumber showed up at 3:00. This was not my usual guy. Apparently there have been changes in the company--a small outfit out of Mooresville, IN. He got out the "snake" and took my word for it that the cause of the problem was roots in the sewer. Thirty minutes later, I was up and running again.
But, ya know? The stuff that came out of the sewer cleanout was nasty! In light of what I saw, I determined that the backup water that flooded my rooms needed special attention. Bleach! I'm STILL finishing up the mop-up process. It takes time. (I'm old!) I threw a little bleach into the laundry load that cleaned the towels I had thrown on the floor to soak up the overflow. It ruined one hand towel. I guess I can sacrifice one old hand towel for the sake of knowing that the rest of them are sanitized. Rolling with the flow...
My daughter has a lump on her thyroid. She had an ultrasound today. She's scared, and I am scared for her, but I refuse to let it get to me until there is a reason for fear. We will await the results together because I am going up there for my grandson's First Communion event. Megan and my grandchildren are my life. Should anything happen to them before my own demise, you can visit me in the looney-bin. I'm serious! Right now, her half-brother is undergoing chemotherapy for a terminal cancer condition, and everyone feels awful for him. Unfortunately, the only thing Meg's father could say to her when she told him that she was concerned about the situation with her thyroid was, "Imagine how Eric must feel." That was totally insensitive! I am WAY beyond caring if he reads this and is upset by it. It speaks for itself.
If you are a praying person, please remember my daughter in your prayers. My whole church is praying for her and my former stepson. Pass the word on!
