Monday's Weird Weather

Monday’s weather was just weird! It was 71 degrees F when I work up, but the temps were supposed to fall all day. It sprinkled on the way into work, but it’s supposed to snow overnight!

The winds were terrible, though. We lost power in our building for a moment or so, but one of our building had a pole come down onto it. With live wires sparking on the roof, DTE and the fire department evacuated the building and sent the people home for the day.

I got a salami and Swiss sandwich for lunch and then went to CVS for some needed supplies.

It was 51 degrees when I left work at 5:00 p.m. There was a traffic accident on Plymouth, just east of Inkster, so it took much longer to get home.

I forgot to mention this, but after running all the potato peels through the garbage disposal, my sink drain backed up (I KNEW I should have just picked them up and threw them in the trash!) So, when I got home, I took the trash can out to the road, treated Caley and then changed clothes.

I took everything out of the sink cupboard and then disconnected the disposal trap. There was nothing in it, so I took off the pipe leading to the main drain. That was clear, too. So, I ran a snake down the drain as far as it would go.

Then I put everything back together. In tightening the trap on the disposal, I managed to loosen the disposal enough that it came off its flange! Oh, God! I caught it in time and got it back up and on. Whew! That sucker is heavy!!!

I ran a ton of hot water in the sink and saw no sign of back up. So, I started the dishwasher (which had been full and just waiting since Sunday night).

I went up in the attic and put away the rose cones and my rolling walker (finally). I took down a few things and then quit for the night.

I warmed up the last of the pasta and ate a late dinner. I watched a little TV and then went to bed.

I woke up around 1:00 a.m. for a bathroom break and the whole backyard was covered with snow!!!
