Utility sink woes

Jess left after 1pm, they wanted to leave in a "single digit time" meaning before 10am but. But. We continued our nice visit. So in reality, they did leave in single digit time. Just. in the wrong single digit area.  

If they didn't have to work tomorrow, staying here would be a nice thing. They have Tuesday and Wednesday off. Couldn't use tomorrow for travel. Also, they want to go home and pack for moving. 

Doug and Jess had some quiet time together and I could hear them talking in the living room, and smell the coffee. The dog was asleep behind my legs and it was tremendously cozy. But a I really wanted to continue to visit with them, I miss them when they are gone.

We had late breakfastylunch, and I was sad to see them go. They texted that at 10pm they were in Sturbridge, so, making decent time. On paper a 7 hour trip. In reality, never less than 9. 

Yesterday morning I had gone down to do laundry and when I went to put the sheets in the dryer the utility sink was full to the top with water but had not overflowed. Eeep. I attempted to plunge and drano the drain, it took forever but eventually the water went down. 

I forgot to tell Geoff. 

He started a load of laundry, I heard the machine filling up and said "oh no."  I went down to turn the washer off, and try to clear the drain some more. I moved a bunch of things that had been relocated to that part of the basement when we had the flood in the spring. And I bemoaned the fact that I still have not forced myself to sit and repack and reorganize shit. 

Doug came down and stood there through the wash cycle, plunging the drain to keep the water from overflowing. 

"Do you want me to put in a service request?" I asked him. 
"No, we'll get some more industrial strength drano and conquer it."

Note: I will end up putting in a service request but, let's allow Doug for this home duty task and to be the conquering hero on it.

I guess this gives us something to do tomorrow? Also, we can do very small laundry loads. Not big full super loads like all the sheets and Geoff's full week's worth of clothing which fill the utility sink to the top. 

Which is good because ... I need underpants washed.

S was supposed to come by today to pick up the cookies her family wanted from last night, which were all still too damp. Best always to let them sit. She texted me around 6pm to say they were not coming by, which actually was pretty good because we were eating dinner and then fighting with the sink. And I hadn't bathed, was still in my clothes from yesterday. Hot mess express.

Not much else to report. Still have some cookies to decorate and will do that tomorrow, mixed in with whatever else we may be doing.
