Hey guys,
Oh my gosh, I had a terrible time these past few days. I think everything's gonna be better now, but wow. Lonnnng story short(er), I had a hip pain relapse. It got pretty bad, which was frustrating. But here's the main story-- and please, be my guest and skim this. And I thought my cadaver story was icky!
So last night, I'm getting ready for bed in the other room, and I hear my toilet start bubbling. Weird, huh? So, I flush it to try and make it stop bubbling.
Bad. Idea.
Toilet overflows and the water gets EVERYWHERE. The water looked clean and everything, so it was lower on the gross factor. But that doesn't change the fact there's water all over my floor. So I grab towels and then a bucket to scoop the overflowing water into the shower. Remember, it's all clean water. So then I try unclogging the toilet, which obviously didn't work cause it wasn't clogged. Toilet
almost floods again. So I scoop more water into the shower.
Then I realize the water in the shower isn't draining. Weird. So what do I do? Call my parents and freak out, of course.
Ok, skipping ahead... I live in a small apartment complex so we don't have 24-hour emergency hotline, just one nice landlady. So I decide to call her in the morning. But I notice that throughout the night, there got to be more water in the shower. And it was turning a nasty murky color, and it smelled.
So at 6 am I get up, dressed, and drive to McDonalds to use their bathroom. Like I said, we're a small apartment complex. There's no public bathroom anywhere on the grounds. Since I'm not familiar with the McDonalds around here, I happen to pick the one McDonalds that locks their freaking bathroom and you have to buy something and ask for the code to use it. So I buy a small coffee and get the code. It's 687, fyi. I wonder how often they change it... At McDonalds, are you a customer for a day or a customer for life?
So I get my coffee which I don't even drink cause I don't want to have to pee. Then I drive back home and call the landlady. Apparently the neighbors backed up the main pipe and she and her plumber there couldn't fix it. So then this plumber guy came and saved my life at 7:20 in the morning. I wanted to marry him, but he was in his 60's. But I seriously felt like Christmas came early this year. I disinfected that shower so much, but I'm still scared to use it now!!
So after ALL that, I had to rush off to PT. I was dead tired cause I didn't sleep all that well (gee, wonder why). The one highlight was that my PT asked how I did on my anatomy test, and I guess he was impressed. He said that if I needed volunteer hours at a PT for school (which I totally do), I should come hang out there. Score!!!!! That made my day!
So after that I went to class, then the grocery store, and then my harp lesson. Now I'm finally back at 8:00 pm. It was a looong day.
Ok, so I definitely don't blame you if I killed your appetite with that story. Sorry--I wasn't exactly in a foodie mood, either. Here are some eats from the past few days, though.
Quick breakfast today:
Toast with dark chocolate peanut butter and sliced apple. What, you thought I got a McGriddle while I was at McDonalds? ;) I think this tasted better.
Cereal mix + pretzels with vanilla protein powder + almond milk:
Dr. Praeger's texas veggie burger salad:
With honey mustard dressing:
And ketchup + BBQ sauce:
Popcorn:
With all my recent phone breakdowns, I managed to freak out my mom enough that she booked a flight to visit this weekend. I told her a thousand times she didn't need to come, but it will be nice to see her. I'd love to come home, but I don't have the time to travel. Plus, Thanksgiving is soon. And I'm thankful for plumbers!!!!
I hope you're having a much better week than I am! But now I'm gonna be positive cause things have to start looking up, right?
Q: What's your favorite crayon color? My absolute favorite is cerulean blue. It's the prettiest color ever!
