TIME RUNS THROUGH OUR VEINS
Things take another bad turn once again. Life constantly throws shit at you when you're already down. This time it is in a literal sense.
The other night after I got home from my shift at work, the toilet was making a weird noise, like someone was plunging it. No one was in the bathroom at the time and upon investigation, the water was low in the toilet, there was sewage in the bathtub and the laundry room was flooded. Our pipes were totally blocked. We tried fixing it with enzymes to break down the blockage without destroying our pipes, and that didnt work. Then we called our landlord and they sent a plumber to try and fix it. They dug up one of the pipes outside, cut it open from the top and put a huge snake tool in it. Turns out the blockage runs way past our property into the city pipes. And the plumber told us the city never does anything to fix plumbing reports, so we had to wait at least a week to get a hold of an auger so they can do it themselves. So they literally kept the pipe in the back open so we can use the bathroom but the problem is, everything that goes into the drain just spills into our backyard. Including toilet paper and shit. So we invested in a portable camping toilet...and it is a nightmare.
This is a complete repeat of when I lived in poverty with my extremely abusive ex. I lived in this before, I had to shower with sewage in the tub, and shit in a toilet filled up with old shit from everyone else in the house...it was a nightmare. And it is happening again. Thankfully the shower is working again but there's no toilet use allowed other than for urine. Today the city drove through the alley and marked where the sewage pipes are and the plumber is coming back this afternoon to dig up that pipe and unclog it. I hope we will be using our toilet again by tonight.
