for the past few days, our shower hasn't been draining right.

it's done this before... but super bad.  like bad to the point draino didn't even make a slight improvement.  so bad i went and bought a snake and learned how to snake a drain.

there are some jobs about living in a house i just find repulsing.

hair in the drain is one.  it's so nasty.  i know it's mine, but still... so gross!

another?  rodents.  i can do bugs, i can do snakes, i can do many-a-nasty creature, but the sight of a little bald tail and the sound of that scratching makes my skin crawl.  i can set the trap to get the little bugger (yes, i'm a hippie and i'm a big proponent of killing mice), but if i catch anything, i would pay a hefty price for someone to come remove it.  i'm not kidding when i say it's one of the first things i asked ian after we started dating... we had a mouse in our garage (we never caught him... he took off) and i'm pretty sure it would have been a deal breaker if he would have said 'nope... i won't get the dead thing'.

dear hair.  please please please stay out of the drain.  you are beyond gross (also, if anyone has any ideas of how to keep it out, it's one of the drains that lifts and turns...)
