Thursday. Yesterday I tried and tried unclogging my pipes and didn’t succeed. Later in the afternoon I read a comment that Andrew (bateman111.wordpress.com) left advising me to use caustic soda. So I wrote a message to my ex asking if he could get some for me before picking my kids. He replied that he was already late and if he did that, he was going to be even later. I said I didn’t mind.
One hour later he came with the soda and then he decided to stay and see if he could fix my mobile phone that he promised to fix last year in July. He couldn’t do it and then it was too late for me to keep trying to clear the pipes.
It was also too late to watch a movie with my daughter. We were supposed to have a girl’s night. My little princess was pissed when I said there was no way we were going to start watching a movie after 9.30pm.
Then I showered and went to sleep feeling quite sad because I hadn’t accomplished anything and I had disappointed my daughter.

This morning I woke up very early but decided to stay in bed as long as I could until my daughter came to ask me if it was time for breakfast. I said that I wanted to try one more time working on the pipes, that it would take only 15 minutes and after that, we could have breakfast and watch Sleeping Beauty and if we felt like it afterwards, we could go to the mill and see what was going on there. She was pleased with the plan and started setting the table in front of the TV.

I put my gloves on and gave it a last try. And believe it or not, it seems that it worked!! Thank you, Andrew! You can bake chocolate cakes and you can unclog pipes. You’ll make someone really happy one day!!

Now I better keep watching the movie and see if “true love conquers all”.
