Enjoying being home

Good Evening,

It has been a very dark, dreary day and now a black night. I had to go out earlier this afternoon; and ended up buying a lotto ticket. As the tid expression goes: 'If you don't buy a ticket, you don't win'. Hmmmmm. Guess that is true enough.

Sad to say, our downstairs sinks are clogged? ie. The two kitchen sinks and our wee powder room sink for the last day or so. We have been utilizing 'Draino'; and hopefully, that will work out / cut the grease or whatever is emeshed in the pipes. Was able to find a 'recipe' for declogging sinks with grease (should have taken the name of the person who recommended that idea; and now I can not find the name to give him the credit!) We have not tried his 'recipe' as of yet; but it certainly makes sense to us; as we already have the stand by 'ingredients' at home. Apparently, baking soda, coca cola etc are also bit suggestions from other sources. Here is the 'recipe' to help unclog grease (ie bacon fat etc).

"Things You'll Need:
4-quart kettle
1 quart water
2 cups vinegar
1 cup salt
dish soap
2- to 4-cup measuring cup
rubber gloves

Step 1
Put on the rubber gloves and remove excess water from clogged sink with your measuring cup.

Step 2
Heat up water, vinegar and salt until it boils. Remove it from heating service and pour into clogged drain. The brine mixture breaks down oil and fats naturally. The process may take several minutes, depending on the amount of grease plugging your drain. If your sink is a double unit, running hot water from the tap down the other drain causes a suction that will aid the clog to come loose.

Step 3
Once clog is dissolved, run hot water from the tap combined with dish soap for about 2 minutes. This helps to remove any grease residue that may remain in the pipes, and leaves an acceptable scent from your drain."

Never did get a chance to light a tidbitz fire ( a 3 hour firelog) and curl up, as per my earlier post of today. However, am looking forward to appreciating the cosy fire setting / ambience tomorrow afternoon! Other bittidz matters surfaced; ie clogged drains. Will let you know, how that works out! LOL!

Also, we received the bittid ammendments / corrections this morning; so it is just a matter of having the info relayed to the appropriate party, digested, and then a tidbit response; Prayfully favourable! We are optimistic there will be a positive outcome! As I mentioned earlier, we are leaving everything up to Him; as it is all in in His Hands, in Accordance with His Will, His Purpose, and His Plan.

We hope too, there is a good movie(s) on tonight; as we are thankful to be home for the night; and not having to go out anywhere. Am sure some of you, can relate! Also, Alan continues to rest (he slept in til 12:15 pm today; the pain killers have been extremely soothing); so this is a good quiet night of restful respite. Love the above friendly photo image; it radiates such a welcoming warmth, methinks! Skal, with a glass of red wine! (South African!)

Here is wishing you a nice evening, Peace, and God Bless.
