2022 day 5

Day 5

Day 5 was a busy one. All the regular stuff, plus a trip to the Post Office to mail something to Holly, the beautiful daughter of a fellow “woolie” — someone who also did the 100 day dress challenge.

I had a pleasant trip to Trader Joes, and while putting away my daughter’s groceries, I noticed that her sink was not draining… and had backed up into the dish drainer side of the two-section sink. So I got the plunger… wait, first I changed out of my dress…. and then proceeded to plunge the dishdrainer side while I was running the garbage disposal, and running water. My daughter put Queen on the Alexa device — and I plunged away to “we are the champions”. Seemed to drain, but then proceeded to fill up the sink again. I repeated the process several times, without success. So I stopped, and thought I had better get the snake. As I passed the bathroom, much to my horror, I realized that while I was plunging, the bathroom sink was throwing up a week’s worth of coffee-grounds and eggshells, and a two-day old taco bell chicken bowl… all over the bathroom counter and floor and it was running into the living area.

I took apart the kitchen sink plumbing and snaked it. I took apart the bathroom sink and plunged it. I put everything back together, and it is still clogged. We are trying Draino industrial stuff… before we cave in and call the plumber. Fingers crossed.

For those of you new to this blog …I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool& — Same dress. 100 days. Details are on tracywearswool.com. I am also taking the same 100 days to make some additional positive changes to develop daily habits in writing, art, knitting and eating better. I will also be not buying anything but essentials, and giving away an item for each of the 100 days.

JANUARY 5, 2022 – DAY 5

Dressing was a snap, tossed on the dress, and old flannel shirt, a belt and my new favorite: the FORAGER POUCH which made a great purse. Wore it like a fanny pack — only it is easier to slip things in and out… and looks a lot more hip!

This is my drawing of the day — ink with watercolor wash.

Winsor & Newton watercolor paints, and my favorite little Pentalic 3 x 4″ Pocket Sketchbook Traveler Journal.

Messy palette — I like the small size – perfect for on-the-go “Plein Aire” meetups with the Urban Sketcher group.

Today’s giveaway was a sweet little barn owl statuette!

Thanks for joining me on day 5 of my #tracywearswool & new habits journey.

Stay tuned for the next 95 days!

And look, someone thinks Titus is a pillow!
