Being retired I have gone back to my usual sleep cycle, bed between 1 to 2 A.M., get up around 8 unless I have something specific to do. Even if I am working part time this is the norm as the earliest I have to be in is at 9:30 A.M.

So at 1:30 I let the dog out and go into the kitchen for some last minute cleanup. Rinse the sink out, it's backing up. Take the trap off, not a good sign as I'm getting backflow when I take both sides of the trap off.

After screwing with it for a half hour I go to the local Meijer to get drain cleaner and a sink plunger. Come home, plunge 15 minutes. Give up, pour the drain cleaner, used two quarts. At 3:10 I leave a note for my wife that I give up, I'll call a plumber in the morning. Suddenly as I put the note down I hear a gurgle, the plug broke.

So I run hot water, flush both toilets to make sure that crud hits the sewer. Now I'm whipped, time to go to bed. So I think.

Bloody nose starts up! So at present I'm laying on the couch nice and quiet hoping despite the blood thinners I'm it will stop.Now 3:35 A.M.

At least I don't need a plumber now.

Ahhh, the life of a retiree.

Hope all is well now. I know what you mean about blood thinners and nose bleeds. I had to go to the ER about 7 yrs ago because mine wouldn't stop.

Be glad it was your nose. Once mine was, uh, elsewhere.

Hey, update tonight.

Drain is still running.

Nose is not still running.

But, did you ever let the dog back in?

Sorry for your troubles
