All I Wanted Was a Bath

I was so looking forward to taking a hot bath last night after being in the cold snow. I came home just as it was starting to come down a little more. I ate dinner. I cleaned out the refrigerator since I am leaving to go out of town. Dumped out some extra spaghetti sauce. Came back to watch TV and then decided it was time for my long hot sea salt bath.

I went into the bathroom and shockingly looked at my bathtub and said, "What the hell is that". I stared for a moment when I realized it was the spaghetti sauce that had come through the drain. The bathtub was about to over flow with water, herbs and spaghetti sauce.

I didn't know if it was rust, sewage or what. I finally figured out it was the water from doing the dishes mixed with the spaghetti sauce. I tried crystal Drano. I tried plunging. NOTHING. No bath for me. I kept Zoe out so she would not eat it.

I called my super this morning and when he came in and saw the mess in the bath tub, he said the same thing I said. Every time we turned on the kitchen sink, the bathtub would fill more and the water would get deeper. After about an hour of going back and forth from the kitchen to the bathroom, finally it was fixed. Apparently there was a block and the water and everything came back to the bathtub. I couldn't take a shower till it was gone because I would have been knee deep in oregano and smelled like pizza.

So finally the tub was drained, the mess was clean and I was ready for a shower. It felt so good.

All you can do was laugh. It would have been great if you were doing a spaghetti cook off, but all I wanted was a bath.
