Observations/Thoughts

It was a perfect day to walk.  It was slightly cooler than yesterday.  What was going to stop me from enjoying it?  My path was altered because the path was closed in two places–for drainage issues and to improve the park.  As I started my walk around the neighborhood, the other factor was hard to clear from my mind.  When I got home from work, the upstairs sink had slobbered excessively.  Even though the water was turned off in the sink, it still decided to spit up obnoxiously while I was at work.  The spitting was collecting and visible on the first-floor ceiling.  After starting my walk, I was worried something might happen while I was gone–the bucket catching the drippings could fall off the ladder OR the dripping at the sink upstairs could elevate its output.

I shortened the walk to ease my mind.  All appeared fine at home.  Unfortunately, after dinner, water was dripping slowly out of a vent in the ceiling.  I rushed upstairs immediately and tightened the knob to make sure it was entirely off.  (Lefty loosey; rightzy tightzy) . As I prepare to go to bed, I am planning on checking the bucket under the sink tonight AND again tomorrow morning.  Assuming it is not collecting “sink drool”, I will relax slightly.  Regardless, a plumber will be a guest in our house soon.
