Of Course, Now It Doesn't Leak!

Tweet

The plumber was just here. We ran water down the garbage disposal for a good 15 minutes. And of course now the thing isn't leaking. He left without doing anything since he couldn't see any leak and didn't know what to fix. He said he was going to ask the office if they want him to just go ahead and replace the garbage disposal anyway since it vibrates a lot. He's supposed to call back and let me know and try to swing back by before 3 p.m. if they okay replacing it. I got about an hour and a half of sleep and am exhausted. I don't want to wait around for this guy to maybe come back. My sister is supposed to be here at noon. I was hoping to grab a few more hours of sleep before then. And of course the plumber was moving all kinds of cleaning products out from under the sink, where we store them, and setting them on the kitchen floor, so now my anxiety is through the roof about whether or not anything spilled that I may have missed, since my cat walks through there. I swept and wiped up the area the best I could and don't see anything, but anxiety doesn't listen to logic. Also the plumber's hands were filthy and he was touching everything in my kitchen so now I'm going to have to wipe everything down later. It'll do no good to do it now if he just comes back and starts touching everything again. I hate being a germaphobe and I hate panicking about one of us or the cat accidentally being poisoned. I wish I lived in an environment without germs and without toxic chemicals. Or that I could at least stop panicking over those two things. And this is just one reason why I hate dealing with repair guys coming into my home, they disrupt the "order" to everything and usually make a mess in the process. Which I will spend the rest of the day panicking over, even after I've cleaned up the mess.
