We are waiting for the plumber, and I realize (now that I am nearing my dotage) that there are few things more distressing than waiting for a plumber the day before Thanksgiving.
There are two possibilities.
- The plumber is not coming. Every minute the plumber delays is one minute closer to the holiday. We were fools for thinking this would happen. This is Thanksgiving eve. The plumber’s office may be working but I am certain the plumber is not. Pharmacists don’t work on Superbowl Day; plumbers don’t work on Thanksgiving eve. Plus, pretty sure they have to work on dire pre-Thanksgiving emergencies instead.
Or…. - The plumber is coming, at an unknown time, to do unknown things, and what does that mean? One cannot commit to using the bathroom for its intended purpose. This causes anxiety, which causes an increased need to use the bathroom. A simmering need though, not a bubbling need, just the type of need that makes one hesitant to eat breakfast, and then lunch.
Either way it is a waste of a day. The basement needs to be tidied up: I think I’ll do that instead.

I hope the basement-tidying went well!
Also, this is why someday I want to have more than one toilet, just as a backup. Wait, backup is not the right word for a toilet… anyway. To have one available if the other one is in use or out of commission!
KC – Basement was not tidied. Instead I waited until half an hour before the appointment window when if course, they closed and bailed saying they could inly do one of the four things we hired them for. Now it’s going to be Friday.
