Merry Holidays!

Well, its been a helluva week around here!  With Christmas Day in the middle of the week, it was a day of rest for me -- as the two days before, and the two days after, were all over 10 hours long at work for me.  Yick.  By the time I got home each night, it was an effort to move from the couch to the car (to pick up my son) to the bed .... and repeat all over again!

Because it was only a day, my girls came up on Friday in order to spend the day.  I was just about to head home from work when my son sent me a text:  "Ma, we got a problem"  hm, not gonna go there with text, so I give him a call.  "The garbage disposal is spewing water all over the place...."   OK, I'll be home in 30 mins.  And yeah, it was spewing all right, all over the place!   And of course, right then, the girls arrive too.  So, off to Home Depot go my son and daughter, leaving me to put my feet up and rest for a few.  They came home with a disposal, and after some doing, we're nearly there completing the installation and we find out we don't have any plumber's putty.  *sigh*  So... back to Home Depot, but stopping to pick up dinner on the way home -- our fav, Chipotle!  yummmm

Home again, complete the installation, and voila!  We have a working disposal.  But.  Uh oh.  Still a problem, now the sink won't drain.  I told them "Let's forget it, enjoy tonight, tomorrow we'll get a snake and be done."  

We watched Christmas Vacation,
opened gifts, 
enjoyed some wine.
And enjoyed each others' company :)

Saturday morning and we're trying to fix the sink, to no avail.  We called in Roto Rooter and $200 later, voila!  the sink is draining and things are good again.   I hope!




The girls left around 5pm Sat evening, and got to the highway -- its shut down because of a major accident.  There just aren't much in the way of roads between here and there, so ... it was a fiasco for sure, taking much too long to make that drive! 

Talk about making Christmas memories.... hahahaha!
Merry Holidays everyone!
