Everything started fine. I woke up got my daily dose of Roseanne and Dr. Phil, then I headed to the grocery store. First I went to the BX to buy Dave' some pajama pants. I buy him pajama pants every year for Christmas and he is down to one pair now so I wanted to make sure I got him a nice new pair. THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY!! I couldn't believe it! I guess all of the men in Misawa sleep naked or something. I was really disappointed. I will have to look online to find a pair.
So, I went to the commissary only needing a few things this week. I was rolling down the pop/ snack food aisle not wanting to buy anything..... and what do I see?? VERNORS!! Oh my goodness. I was so excited. Dave and I talk about how much we miss Vernor's all the time!! They finally got it in here. There was a man in the aisle and he was startled when I let out a loud 'oh my gosh' Then I realized I probably look liked a crazy person. I told him that they finally have Vernors and asked him if he had ever tried it. He laughed at me a little. I don't care how crazy I looked I was so excited.
On my way home I stopped at the Post Office and I got a package!! I ordered a ton of pictures the other day and they came super quick! There were 312 prints I purchased. I am looking to start scrapbooking 2006 after the new year. I was so happy they arrived so fast.
When I got home I put away groceries and I cleaned a few things out of the fridge. I filled the sink with a little water to wash a few things and when I ran a trickle of water in the other sink to rinse with I noticed it was starting to gather. I haven't noticed it running slow so I figured there must be something in the disposal. I flipped the switch and holy moly the other sink's plug flew out and water started flying out of the drain. I have never seen anything like that before in my life!! I was a little confused and after letting the water 'drain' I noticed some pretty funny stuff coming up in the sinks. I ended up getting a decent amount of chunky water in both sinks just sitting there, so I figured I better just leave it for Dave to fix when he woke up. Well, Dave was so excited about the Vernors he hardly minded plunging the sink for 30 minutes. Nothing good was happening and now there was that pond scum looking water gathering in the dishwasher too!! Now I figured things were pretty serous. I called Housing and they sent someone out. Dave had to leave for work before they arrived and I was so nervous. Dave gave me a long lecture about the disposal. I guess rice isn't good??? And he said I shouldn't put sweet and sour Pork or Chicken strips down there anymore. Like I knew that!!! The only understanding I have about disposals is what I learned on the Flintstones. (remember they had that pig looking thing under their sink.. He ate everything.)
When the guy arrived from housing he went at the sink with the two plunger method ..... No luck. Then he got a shop vac and some other thing that sprayed water down the drain. Now by this point he said it wasn't the pipes under the sink he said it was something further down the line....... Just a build up over time... So I am thinking this Isn't my fault after all. SO after awhile he gave up and went back to the shop for the 'bigger guns' and another guy to help him. Now I didn't even try to watch what was going on, because I knew I could smell something a little too funky for my enjoyment, so i just stayed in the living room.
After about 45 minutes they announced success and packed their stuff. Before they left they gave me a lecture about rice also. Theirs was a lot nicer than Dave's. So the floor is a mess and the sinks look like a magic cleaner infomercial before picture.( Like when they start to clean something that is so nasty you think yeah but nothing is ever that gross! Well this is!) It is really nasty. I have soft scrub with bleach working on the sink and I just finished mopping the floor with bleach water. I emptied the dishwasher and am running it empty then I will rewash the dishes that were in there when the water started coming up. Guess this will keep me from leaving clean dishes in the dishwasher from now on.
Not a terrible day I guess.... I think I'll go have a Vernors!!!
