My Morning So Far

Awoke to find my toilet completely plugged and unable to flush. This situation has become all too common these days as the various drugs I take affect my bowel habits and unfortunately the toilet is a low flush model which is not very effective for dealing with someone on chemotherapy. I didn't want to call a plumber since I just called one in last week and every time they come out it costs me around $60 bucks for a five minute job (my apartment building management will no longer pay to unclog my toilet as the clog is not a result of bad plumbing but rather excessive waste). So I went online and looked up ways to unplug a toilet. One of the recommendations was to fill the bowl up with water as fast as possible without overflowing it; and you know, it actually worked. Cool, huh? However, as I went to fill up my bucket with water from my bathtub, a large Jerusalem Cricket appeared at one end of the tub. For those not familliar with these types of crickets, they look like a large cockroach. Disgusting. I sent it to cricket heaven with a mop and lysol.

I hope the rest of my day is better.
