Current Song: Celine Dion – You And I
I had a partially handwritten entry for today. Unfortunately, as is the case with me often after the fact, I have problems reading my own writing.
Thankfully, I remember what it said.
Even though I’m still working on a way to get repairs done here in the basement to replace my failing hot water tank, my bathroom sink sprang a leak, right in the P-Trap.
Sounds nasty, I know.
Now, I’m hearing gurling through the pipes in the sink when I flush the toilet. Happened early this morning, around 2AM. I might have had a miniature meltdown in the bathroom, while screeching about sopping up the ‘flood’ on the floor.
Part of the time, I use a basin with a tiny scrub board to clean up some essentials, such as my socks, underwear, leggings, etc etc.
As long as it’s small and portable (mostly), I can wash it in this little basin. It was originally built to be used as a dish washing tub.
I’m used to just dumping the water in the sink. For the first time, I heard running water when the faucets were off. That’s when I found the hole. And my nightmare fluffed itself up and screamed at me.
However, I do have plumbers’ putty and a dog-headedness. I just need to get the pipe to hold until I can replace it. So… I suppose I’ll be stepping into doing a few plumbing tasks. It’s my hope that sealing the hole might stop the strange gurgling in the pipes too.
After I do this, I need to get the putty. Then I have a date with a bag of spicy Cheetos and some lessons for tonight.
No writing content, unfortunately.

Oh! And if anyone’s wondering, I use a strainer in the sink when I’m washing clothes in it. To catch any clothing debris.
