Times like these when a man would be handy to have around.
As much as the invasion of privacy would suck, that it would feel like somebody's watching me while I pee, I am seriously considering installing some security cameras in the bathroom.
See, the toilet is not flushing properly and the septic is backing up in the tub, and I have been plunging it for several hours now.
Why do I need a security camera for that you may ask?
Because one of the teens is throwing q-tips in the toilet and flushing them down, and they are both blaming each other.
How do I know that?
Because when I was plunging the tub to try and get the nasty clog to go down or come up, what has come up has been about 20 q-tips and some hair.
The hair I expect, but not the q-tips.
It is so disgusting in the bathroom right now.
The teens and I have been taking turns trying to get that nasty stuff to go down.
It smells so freaking bad in there.
It won't go down.
I'm like thisclose to crying.
My OCD is in a state of overdrive, I can't freaking stand it that I can't fix this.
I can fix practically everything.
I have fixed the toilet and the tub a gazillion times, but not this time.
I cannot get the whole clog to move, and it's obvious that it's a clog because of what I've pulled up, but I can't get the whole thing to come out or move down the pipes.
I finally reached the landlord, he's going to come by tomorrow and use the electric snake on it, and let's hope that works because if it doesn't, the septic tank is going to have to be cleaned or drained, or whatever.
Please don't let this be a septic tank failure issue, the landlord will be pissed.
He's only had one rental income coming in for almost 2 months because the other half of the duplex has been empty, and it's going to cost like $800 to come drain the septic tank.
