ANA Y2 D165

Yesterday was an adventure. More things happening on a tuesday than the average person does in a whole week. Got up in the morning around 5, and immediately sent a second request to Roto-Rooter. Around 7:30 I got confirmation and 8:15 got a phone call. Thank goodness. I took a whore's bath in the sink barely turning on any water. The tech showed up around 9 and was here until about 10:30am. He pulled out five bags of tree branches. Sigh. Okay. We discussed options for the future. Realistically I can either keep calling them every 2-3 years and have it snaked at the roughly $300 a pop it cost me yesterday, spend $1700 and have it high pressure flushed which would buy me 10 years before calling them again, or spend $10,000 and have the pipes replaced because clearly there's a hole the roots are coming in through. This is actually a tough call. No, I can't do either of the more expensive options right now, but we need to think this through depending on how long we plan on living here. Are we going to be here in 10 years? I truly doubt it. 5? Maybe. Regardless, he got everything cleaned out, cost me $300 and I took a real shower. Rest of the day was spent working. Had a meeting at 2pm with IBM about a bug we found in their latest release. Then went to the store to get stuff for dinner. Our friend came over around 5:30 and we had the bestest girl night. I made a nice roast, risotto, and zucchini. She braided and did C's hair, we laughed, we had fun. For dessert I made caramelized pears served over french vanilla ice cream. We wound down and started to get into bed around 11. C slips into bed and is says "gee this feels wet". Fuck fuck fuck. We pull back the sheets and there's a big old pee spot. Sigh. Rip the sheets and blankets off and get everything in the washer. Find replacements and try to get situated. Fucking cat. Long day. Many things going on. But not a bad day. Just a day in the life.
