Used in a sentence: "The notion that I am calm, cool and collected in a crisis went out the window today (or ... maybe better yet ... down the drain ...eventually), when I awoke to a clogged toilet, and, with all of the stress of the past week bubbling up inside me, I exclaimed 'I can do many things, but I cannot plumb!'"
[That is what plumbers do, right ... plumb?]
After a mini meltdown and a few deep breaths, I came to realize that, as with so many things in life, it's all about having the right tool for the right job. A quick run to the local hardware store, and I am now the owner of a "korky" plunger (pictured on the left), which works so much better than that ineffectual plunger-wannabe that I had tried to use to no avail (looking all sad there on the right).
So ... a happy ending for me and mine ... an oddly effectual stress release just for me ... and the best part -- now I can update my resume to reflect that I can plumb after all.
