My rosy attitude is begining to wilt after day 6 w\/out water…<\/p>\n
When I got home from work yesterday (seriously, I’m almost afraid to come home from work some nights…), I found that we had standing water in our kitchen sink. How is it that we even HAVE water in the kitchen (?) – well, that’s just the stuff we’ve hauled. Anyway, we pulled apart the drain pipes under the sink and confirmed that there was nothing lodged – thereby pointing towards the conclusion that our drain pipes are probably also frozen.<\/p>\n
For good measure,\u00a0 we decided to try some more Max Strength Drano before chalking it up to the cold. So, I ran into the (only) grocery store we have in town to get this magical liquid, and I also decided to buy a plunger (as I saw Bill eyeing up the toilet plunger for this job… not okay). Our pipes are still not draining, but I did come away with this… A plunger is one of those awkward purchases – particularly in a small store – because this screams urgency! I mean, at least I wasn’t also carrying a 24 pack of double roll Charmin, but still, this situation was not cool. And, I swear, if you ever want to run into people you don’t see often, think of some embarassing items you might carry around in your cart at the local store. I think I knew EVERYONE in line around me. Of course that’s the beauty of a small town…<\/p>\n
