This will not be short.
Tues. Youngest granddaughter her for sleepover. She was here Wednesday till evening.
Wed. Day before Thanksgiving. While prepping/cooking and of course using kitchen sink .. the bathroom sink downstairs (pipes connected) clogged and flooded bathroom floor. Grab towels .. wipe up. Everything drained okay after testing. Continued cooking and using kitchen sink. Thought all's cleared and okay.
Thurs - Thanksgiving Day. Used kitchen sink all morning and early afternoon. All was good and meal prepared. Buffet and table set up.
My husband suddenly didn't feel good like before his ICD shocks his heart. I told him sit down and he was done helping me. No family here yet. Called my son to come carve turkey. Husband felt better and turnkey carved.
Put pots etc in dishwasher to clean while we ate. Mid-cycle someone says "I hear water." Downstairs drain clogged and overflowing again.
Stopped dishwasher. Other's grabbed towels laying on floor downstairs. We're going to enjoy each other and meal together and deal with it afterwards. We did. We laughed and enjoyed each other.
After meal the guys got to work downstairs trying to remove clog. Finally after hours I said stop. Will deal with it tomorrow. Dirty dishes, bowels, plates, silverware must wait till tomorrow.
Fri morning ... 1st day of both deer/buck hunting. Guys were ready to head to cabin. Umm not till clog is cleared says I. They worked and worked. Didn't happen. I said mid-morning "Just go. I'm good. I'll call plumber" I needed peace!!
After many calls all plumbers booked. Turns out the day after Thanksgiving is busiest day of the year I'm told. Will come Monday. What?? I found an awesome plumber with a heart who came and said he would not charge me double for weekends as they all do. Thank you.
Oh I forgot to mention my oldest granddaughter asked to me watch her dog while she went to cabin to hunt with guys. She's 16. She always said she wanted to hunt with her dad/my oldest son. Her dog is cute etc but weird with men and strangers. She saw plumber at front door. I put her out on the deck and gave her pieces of turkey while plumber worked downstairs. He left. She came in .. sniffed .. and weirded out hiding behind chairs refusing to go to the stairs that lead to the front door to go outside to do her business. Was fun. Not!!!
For a while I've been watching a young 4-point buck from cabin Ring camera and also while there sitting on cabin porch. My granddaughter shot a young 4-point buck. Guess who?
Everyone returned late Sunday night. Due to the time granddaughter, her dog and my son slept here. No problem. I love them. I was looking forward to empty house eventually though.
Monday a busy day doing things and helped granddaughter with high school project.
Tuesday today. I finally this morning got my car from the shop repaired. The guys there finally pin pointed issues caused by other place I took for state inspection and messed things up. Then I had dental appt today. Afterwards had errands and things to do.
Bottom line I'm now sitting here in silence and hoping tomorrow is a pleasant slow day.
