it only cost $100 this time. i say “this time” because the plumber seems to think we’re gonna have to dig up the yard sometime to really fix it.
awesome.
anyway, the “root system” and other gunk that he pulled out of the pipe looked like a really long, evil weasel. even the plumber was amazed, and do you know how hard it is to amaze a plumber? they’ve seen everything come out of a pipe, right? anyway, the grossness he pulled out was so amazing that HE TOOK IT WITH HIM SO HE COULD SHOW HIS COWORKERS. THAT IS HOW AMAZING THE ROOT CLOG WAS.

***

to celebrate our AMAZING ROOT CLOG mr. fleegan and i flushed the toilet and did the dishes. then we built a celebratory fire in the fire place. it’s the first fire we’ve made since i got the place last summer.
good news: the fireplace works!
bad news: the flue has been open since i bought the house last summer.
you effin’ genius.

when i went outside to get some more sticks for the fire (the logs aren’t burning because they’re wet on the inside, i guess. or maybe they’re just lazy.) i could smell the fire and i thought, “aw, that’s my fire smelling like a fire.” and i wanted to call someone to come over to smell the fire outside my house and then have them come in to get warm by the fire and drink tea or hot chocolate or coffee with irish cream in it or whatever toddy they want.

come, smell my fire! drink something!
but not tomorrow. tomorrow’s bowling night.
