Plugged Drain and One Handed Clean-Up.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

I almost wrote a Blog last night, but that went to the wayside when Kathy said the Kitchen Sink was not draining. Having been experiencing recent problems, I added some drain cleaner. When I left the room, Kathy added more water thinking it would help. With no drainage taking place, I added the remainder of the Drain Cleaner before going to Bed.

Going directly to Bed was more of a convenience, where Kathy could help me with my CPAP Mask and the lights were on, so I could safely lay down. Like the night before, it was only an Hour later, when the Shoulder Pain, had me heading for my Recliner. Kathy checked on me twice, with the second time being to wake me up at 9:10. Minutes later the Fire Alarm was going off. Just the monthly check.

The sink had drained overnight but by adding only a slight bit of water, it immediately plugged again. We needed a breakfast snack before Karen showed up to take Kathy away for a visit. I had to assure them I would be fine alone before they left.

It was challenging but I finally got changed, before heading downstairs to the Office. Bonnie the Building Manager, at first glance thought I had been in an accident. After explaining the problem with the sink, she immediately contacted the Building Maintenance Man.

I had barely made it inside our Apartment when John arrived. Of course, he had to empty the cabinet so he could do his thing. He was curious how I had diagnosed the problem and repair before he got there. My Major in High School was Architectural Drafting, with all the Construction Trades as Minors. He was done in minutes after running the Eel to clean out the blockage. It was nice seeing the whirlpool of water going down the drain afterwards.

Unfortunately, I single handedly had to put everything away after he left, before having Ready-Made Italiano Pasta Salad for lunch. It reached 66 F (19 C) today so if felt wonderful having the Balcony Door open. Yesterday, we had to use our Air Conditioner, when the Humidex reached 97 F (36 C).

I was just Icing my shoulder, when Kathy and Karen came home. Looks like we’ll be having Salad and Lasagna for supper. Thanks again Karen.

I can take off the outer dressing tomorrow. That means I can finally take a shower.

What did the sketchbook say to the novel?


I’m drawing a blank.
