and not because I wanted to or had planned on it.
Why is it when you think things may finally take a turn for the good
something else happens to mess it up?
I spent most of today (Sunday) with a mop, a bucket, some rubber gloves,
some garbage bags and a whole lot of bleach. Yup. Sewer backed up. I had
boiling toilets, spewing shower drains and the main drain in my basement
just up and puked. ARGH!!!!
Of course me being not quite so wonderful in my storing of things and
such... well there were quite a few things on the floor, including a UFO and
papers and some fabric scraps and some books. Lost it all, the smell was
insanely disgusting and we wont discuss what comes UP out of drains attached
to the sewers right?

I had pulled out the UFO to get back into the feel of stitching and it
seemed like the right thing to get back in step on. Thank God it wasn't a
sandwich, just the blocks for the top. I only had about 30 blocks (double
Irish chain out of scrap 2" squares) so at least I didn't lose a whole
quilt. There is just no way I could even think about tossing all that "gunk"
into my washing machine, and the fact that I spilled half my bucket of
bleach water which of course splashed EVERYwhere <sigh>. Guessing maybe it
isn't time yet for me to settle in at my sewing machine, it is time for me
to declutter my basement.

~KK in BC~ who is terribly allergic to bleach but what choice do you have
when it is raw sewage?.... :-(

Well uphill seems to be where the snow must be shovelled? on a pile that
turns into a hill LOL
My basement floor is sure nice and shiny clean now!

On the bright side - from where it started the week can
only get better, right?
