Plumbing problems!
and we are not talking about mine:)
WHAT a day this has been!
I got absolutely nothing accomplished in terms of eating, drinking, exercising.
At about 3pm I noticed a flood in the guest bath downstairs. WTF!! All I need is a plumbing problem. I have one of my own, ya knowJJ
To make a long story short, the plumber came out he snaked the pipes every which way possible, and the end result is nothing, nada, siltch!!
I cannot run any water until they have it fixed, hopefully tomorrow afternoon.
HELLO, woman on gazillion gallons of water, what is she to do? I guess I have to pee in a bucket (haven’t done that since I was a kid on the camp grounds, just great.)
We are already $350 into it with having anything fixed whatsoever.
We have a septic system and the plumber thinks it’s either a broken pipe (please NO!) or the tank is full (which is unlikely since we have only been here for 1 ½ years. It just shouldn’t be. But it could be explained the plumber if we have ground water getting into it, mmh once again very unlikely, but not impossible.
Even if that’s the case, GREAT, empty the darn thing and let’s go on with the day.
If it’s a broken pipe we are talking major $$$$$. That’s all we need right now, with all the $$ we have spend so far on the addition.
I am hoping for the septic guys to confirm a full tank.
So, having no water to clean up myself (you can imagine what I looked like a few hours into it, being exposed to sewage water YIKES!! Ok, I was lucky, there was only water from the washing machine coming back up, but still …..)
Where was I? So me being a mess, I called my neighbor asking if I could wash my hands and clean up a little and she did me one better, she offered me to use the shower. THANK YOU!!
And she asked if I had dinner yet, which I didn’t. I accepted her generous offer to heat up some pot roast, and it was yummy. THANK YOU, again!!
I have no idea how many calories I consumed, but I am sure, including the small piece of cake I was still within my “budget”. If not, OH WELL!! I’ll find out later.
I haven’t had any water and aren’t going to until the plumbing is fixed; at least not the remainder of the night.
What a day!!

OMG! I know all about plumbing/sewer problems as I had my own last summer. I hope it's nothing serious and your flushing and showering in no time!
On a brighter note - congrats on the weight loss! :) Way to go!!! :)
