Plumbing & New Year
Thank you for reading my blog,
The plumbing company did come back out, and rejetted and cameraed the sewer line again. They got the sewer line unclogged for now, but I need to replace the inside sewer line. I have decided to do the inside sewer line with a different company. They sent out a company to clean and dry the bathroom with machines to which I have to move them out to take a shower every night. When I do this I wipe everything off with Clorox wipes for the reason that everything is contaminated because of the way the cleaners cleaned the bathroom. They sprayed a disinfectant, and then wiped it off without using gloves. They also used their feet to move the towels they used around, then picked them up with their bare hands, then proceeded to touch everything. This is stressful for me in every way. I’m having a hard time sleeping at night just thinking of all the people going to be here along with how gross they are. I watched the new plumbing company person use the camera down the sewer for over forty feet, and the only part he wiped off was the camera end. All the rest of the cable he pulled out using gloves, however he kept the gloves on and touched everything with them. That is really gross to me. I have a lot of moving stuff around before they start in about two and half weeks. I might even buy a tarp to cover my bed. They have to tear out the master bathroom floor as well. They have to walk past my bed to get to the bathroom. They will be less than a foot away from my bed, and I don’t want them accidentally touching it, or stuff getting on it in any way from the sewer. If that were to happen, I would probably not wash the bedding, but throw it away. This may seem a little extreme to you, yet this is sewer from the toilets they are working with. For me this whole experience has been and will be extremely stressful. I will let you know how it all goes.
On the bright side, I did review my year while I was here like Mel Robbins said to do. She said in a podcast that we only remember most of the bad things that have happened to us. To look at your photos to see everything in the past year and write them down while doing it. So I did. The year was rough losing mom, on the positive side from June till now at least one positive experience every month since then. I would have never realized it if I didn’t go through my photos. Thanks Mel. I set up my goals for next year. I did a little writing, reading, and set up a few appointments. My word for last year was courage/faith. I wrote that this year I will have courage to accomplish my writing, traveling, dating and paying off my student loan goals through faith. I am grateful, worthy and blessed. I only put it in my phone notes. This next year I’m going to print it out and post many places for me to see. My word for this year is ENTHUSIASTIC. My phrase for the year is Do It Afraid. Do you have a word or phrase of the year?
