And so this is Christmas

Here I thought we were doing well. Other than almost forgeting to take out the organic, free-range chicken breasts for my niece, who doesn't eat ham, and dumping dirty dish water down my front a half hour before our guests arrived on Christmas Eve, we had no calamities.

Until I took my shower this afternoon.

And the sewer backed up into the basement.

It's 8:05 PM Christmas Day and we're waiting for the plumber.

This bill ain't gonna be pretty.
