Productive? Almost.

I was going to write this post today about how productive we'd been all weekend!  About how I cut Aaron's hair for him, how we'd unclogged the drain in the bathroom, and then gave the cat a bath!  Maybe even how we went to a movie (first in two years).  But so far, only one of those things has been accomplished this weekend.  It is still early, so more could happen, but I am doubtful.

So far, I have only managed to cut Aaron's hair.  We were running into the problem of a possible mullet, and I wasn't about to allow one of those in my apartment.  So I asked a co-worker who I know cuts hair for advice, and did some looking up on the internet for tips.  Everything I researched pretty much confirmed what I thought I should do.  I am proud to say that Aaron is neither missing large chunks from his head, nor is he bald due to a home hair cut gone wrong. 

As far as unclogging the drain and giving the cat a bath?  Well, those kind of went hand in hand, and did not happen.  Our drain in the shower has been draining slower and slower each day, and I am always left standing in a few inches of water by the time I am done.  We had unclogged it in the past to some degree of success, but it kept getting backed up again.  We did Liquid Plumr, pulled hair out of the drain, and even boiling water and baking soda.  Well, it just hasn't been working.  We even tried using a plumber's snake today, to no avail.  So I ended up calling the rental office to see if the handyman was around today, because I know the office is open on Saturdays.  She said that he might be at another property working on stuff, but she could page him and see, and call me back.  No call back yet (3 hours later), so I'm assuming he is not around, and we will have to wait until Monday.  When am I supposed to shower?  I haven't showered since Thursday morning!

The movie may or may not happen tonight; I think we have plans with some friends, but we won't hear from them until later.  So that means the movie will probably get pushed to Sunday.  *sigh*  What an unproductive weekend so far.
