Oh Crap. Literally.

So Jamie and I got home from trivia last night around 11:00.  (As usual, we came in first place.  It's hard being so smart sometimes.)  

I went to use the facilities and when I flushed the toilet, it didn't work right.  It didn't overflow, but it filled up with a ton of water and stopped.  I didn't do "long term business" so there wasn't anything in there out of the ordinary or enough of anything to stop up the toilet.  Jamie got the plunger and plunged.  I was going to get in the shower so while he was in full plunge mode I opened the shower door.  

AHHHHHHHHH!

The shower was full of water and stuff that I can only describe as filth.  It's black and weird and gross and smelly.  As Jamie continued to plunge the toilet I noticed that as he moved the plunger up and down water (and shreds of toilet paper) came out of the shower drain causing more filth and more water to fill up in the shower.  I was pissed.  It wasn't anyone's fault (well, maybe it is, we'll find out later) but what an inconvenience.  

So the plumbers are here now.  At first there was just one.  Now there are two.  And lots and lots of weird machines.  I have them working on the toilet in the laundry room (the secret toilet) so my bathroom doesn't get more gross than it is (it's not gross, the shower is).  My toilet is now sitting on a red carpet (I guess it's a VIP) in my kitchen.  Loud noises and such are coming from the laundry room where I assume the toilet once sat.  

Obviously our plumbing is clogged.  The upstairs neighbor isn't home and when I knocked on his door last night to see if he too was having issues he didn't answer.  I thought he was probably asleep until Jamie and I heard him walking around.  Maybe he's a inappropriate flusher.

The only saving grace to all of this will be if they pull something really cool out of the plumbing, like a tea pot or a Tonka truck or a really big diamond.  

I just hope they get whatever it is today because I would like to take a shower.

(In case you were wondering, no, I did not get to shower last night, but I woke up really early this morning and went to my parents to shower.  So I am clean.)

(Oh, and when we woke up this morning the shower and toilet had drained so we have been able to pee.  The shower is still disgusting because all that filth is still in there.  And what sucks the most is that just last weekend, not even five days ago, Jamie cleaned the crap out of the shower.  Oh well, looks like later today he will be literally cleaning the crap out of the shower again).

The pic above is what will forever be referred to as my VIP Throne given the red carpet and all.
