No plumber needed here

After I gave Emma a bath on Thursday night, I could not get the drain plug to pop up to release the water. I kept pushing on it as hard as I could, but nothing would get it to pop, so I just left it. Denny tried to push on it later (after all, he's about 100x stronger than me) ... not even he could get it.

On Friday morning, I was a little desperate, so I took a shower standing in Emma's bath water from the night before ... it was freezing!

By Saturday morning, I decided I needed to take action. Denny was gone, so I got a screwdriver and took off the cap thingy and tried to wiggle it, still nothing. I then took a wire hanger and jammed it down as far as I could until the plug popped up enough for me to pry it open. I pulled it all the way out and got more than I bargained for in the form of a huge hair clump. I must shed more than any animal none to man.

I felt pretty accomplished. Emma got to take a bath and I got to shower without standing in a tub of water. It was a good day!
