<10% hopeful
23 Nov 2024 09:09 pmOkay, we made an appointment to talk to the cat behaviorist the next time Wax has a free weekday! (In early December.)
We also walked to the hardware store and got a sump pump, at the suggestion of the really nice and helpful guy who owns our local pump truck business. Wax is consulting a local plumber for quotes (about bypassing the broken pipe with a new pipe hopefully, and also I guess then about all the old pipes under the basement and garage, UGH) but we haven't heard back from him yet. In the meantime, the sump pump is able to pump the reasonably liquid but dirty water from the third of three septic tanks in our insane under-yard sewage/drainage system into the newer, still-functional pipe in the second of the three septic tanks, and that suggestion seems to be working okay for now. It's gross, and the fact that it's below freezing and all snowy makes it worse, but it's better than the tenants not having working drains.
So that leaves fretting about my mammogram Wednesday at the top of my list now.
Also, we're waiting for the snow to melt away (there was a big storm last week) so that Wax can drive our car to the garage to have the snow tires put on. We are carless until that, because we had 0% Can for the crucial just-before-snow period when we SHOULD have had the tires changed.
