the screaming pages

Absolute disaster happened at the house on Thursday. Something much worse than the dental appointment I’d had scheduled earlier in the day.

I came home to a sewer backup in our basement shower stall. Ugh!

After the plumber augered out the tree roots in the lines, we’re back to normal. If you can consider a basement that reeks of bleach normal.

I tore up the carpet in the hall closet and have been busy washing Drew’s kit that was stored there. L is going to help me tear up the hall carpet (it’s superglued down it seems) and then we’re replacing it with laminate flooring.

Drew and I will tackle reflooring the office when he gets home in Nov. It’s too big of a job to do at the moment. I can’t tear apart the office for days with school in mid stream. So, super bleach stink is the new “in” smell chez moi.

Ugh!

Post clean-up required a good stress relief. I spent yesterday evening score keeping at the E-ville roller derby game and had a blast. I’m not likely to ever be able to play due to my millions of injuries, but I can volunteer and participate as an NSO. Hope to be able to do so all season.

Now, back to cleaning & homework. I’m probably overcleaning at this point but I find I can’t help myself at the moment.

Tomorrow I take the truck in to get nee shocks & struts. It doesn’t rain but it pours when hubs away.

So, how was your week?
