the late night plumber: gratitude day 20

days 18 and 19 are yet to be posted though I've held the grateful thoughts.
but tonight we came home to pack for a trip and discovered that the bathtub and sink both had a few inches of standing water in them. Gross, murky standing water that hadn't been there this morning. And didn't respond to plunging or the short snake we have. not the situation you want when leaving the house to a house-sitter...

so today, I'm grateful for the plumber who came out on a friday evening and faced a more cunning and nasty blockage than he'd expected. grateful also for El Bandito, who talked to our landlords who drive me crazy, and cleaned up the mess the (very apologetic) plumber left behind when he finally succeeded in clearing the pipes. grateful that we're in a position where we can pay for an after- hours plumbing visit (and also that we can deduct it from the rent).  And that I can shower before hopping on a plane...
