plumbing the depths

Shortly before Christmas, we had to bring out a plumber to unclog our toilet. Not being able to unclog my own toilet was a minor source of quiet shame for me, so when the toilet clogged again after a couple of weeks... I tried to ignore it.

I literally just got off the phone with my Dad and apparently he had the same problem (roots) -- only he shelled out the bucks to have everything totally redone from the toilet all the way to the city's hookup.

What a bizarre coincidence.
