Toilet...

I have to share this story because right now all I can do is sit on my floor and chuckle, otherwise I would cry because I am so tired and exhausted.  So I got up this morning and my toilet wasn't working.  As in water won't go down the toilet and it is clogged.  Tried my plunger.  No dice.  But it is one of those 'new' school ones that I don't think work as well.  Went to the hardware store, and bought an old school plunger.  Still no dice.  At this point I call the property company.  Didn't hear back after a few hours, and I seriously needed to use the restroom, so I went to the laundromat and used theirs and then went back to the hardware store and rented a snake.  Still no dice.  In the meantime I cleaned my apartment because I knew they were going to send a plumber.  He gets here. After five minutes, the end of the snake breaks off in the toilet.  So after much work we get all the water emptied out of the toilet and he unbolts it from the floor and he carries it outside.  (At least it isn't snowing yet!!!!!)  He works on it some more hoping to get it fixed. The toilet breaks - you can see the crack on the tank.  (I had to take the picture because how funny is an upside down toilet in the grass?!?).  So now he is at the hardware store buying a new toilet.  And I am sitting on the floor in my living room waiting for him to get back.  I may be resilient, but can I please, please get a break from the chaos of life?  Like I said, what else can I do but chuckle!?!?!  :)

So I haven't gotten much done today except the toilet (which I guess still isn't done!) and I am beyond exhausted and ready to crawl into bed.  At least my apartment is straightened up for when I wake up tomorrow.  But here is the picture!
