Yesterday was plain awful

Poor T had a bad day yesterday. It started out ok but went downhill...fast. In the morning he had to meet with a needy client. You know the kind who think they are your only client and don't understand when you cant drop everything to take care of their ever single need. After that he came home to try to fix his toilet (and i say his because T and i don't share a bathroom which i now think is the key to a happy marriage..separate bathrooms). What happened to his toilet you might ask? Well about 2 weeks ago while he was cleaning his bathroom (yes i know i should be happy that he was actually cleaning it because most of the time it resembles the bathroom of a frat house) he decided it was a good idea to flush about 10 paper towels down the toilet. Of course it clogged. T tried to plunge and plunge but nothing happened. So after a few weeks of him trying to use MY bathroom i told him it was time to get his fixed. He tried plunging again which made the pipes back up with pressure and leak nasty water onto the ceiling in our dining room! Gross!! It wasn't a small leak either. It made our house smell like...well you can only imagine. T finally gave up and called a plumber. While we were waiting outside (the house really stunk) for the plumber a big truck came by and clipped the phone line in front of our house and it was now hanging across the road. I called the police department who called the electric company. There were there in 10 minutes. All they could do was pull the line out of the road so the phone company could come take care of it later (it took the phone company about 5 hours to come fix the problem). So the plumber came and wanted $450 to take the toilet off and snake the drain! $450!! T decided that he could do the work himself for a lot less. Which he did and it only took him about an hour to fix the toilet and all it cost us was the price of a drain snake. While all this was happening T went to get us lunch and dropped his debit card in the parking lot. Thankfully a good Samaritan turned it in and T got his card back. (BTW this isn't the first time he has dropped his card/wallet) Then at his softball game someone hit a foul ball off the tail light on his car. Poor T had a bad day. After the toilet was fixed we aired out the house and it no longer smells...well it might smell like cleaner.

Oh and so my AB doesn't get mad that there is no adoption related news....well there is no news. We are still waiting for our LOA. Day 86! Not that i am counting.

Geeze...Tracy's unfortunate toilet incident sounds a whole lot like ANOTHER unfortunate toilet incident he tried to blame on SOMEONE ELSE! I see a pattern here...
