From time to time I have to take the bathroom sink apart and unclog the drain pipes. It’s not a complicated job, but one thing makes it devilishly hard–the room’s too small! I can’t get into a comfortable position to work. Every move I make turns into some kind of dreadful yoga exercise. And, as Kipling once said, “The heat would make your bloomin’ eyebrows crawl.” Mine were halfway down the stairs before I caught them.
Knowing it was going to be unseasonably roasting hot today, I got up early to take my bike ride before the temperature soared. After my daily conference with my editor, I did a bunch of blogging. Then that torture in the bathroom. Then write and submit my book review for Chalcedon.
And all of a sudden, I’m beat.
I want my “Columbo” episode! I want my Freddy the Pig book! But those delights come later. For the time being, it’s just iced tea and me.
What a dreadful sounding job! Sounds like you could use a nice cigar too.
Had one after I finished the job. It was like working in a phone booth.
I’m trying to picture you emerging with a red cape and a big S on your shirt 🙂
Working under a sink is the worst. Even if there’s plenty of room it’s uncomfortable, but it things are cramped it becomes intolerable.
It makes one appreciate the life of a plumber (no wonder they make such a nice living). As I read your post I could hear John Lennon singing “A Day In The Life.” 🙂
Feel ya man
