An enduring and implacable problem for me is my hair. In particular, I am today concerned with what my hair does to drains. Luckily enough, it is no match for the disposal in the kitchen sink, or the drain filter in the shower. It is more than a match for my personal bathroom sink, and I cannot blame my very short-haired roommate for the clogs that perpetually disable that sink. As I write this, it drains, but does so rather slowly for my liking.
I try now to spare it. When I shave, I have a jar underneath the faucet to catch the shaving cream and hair that I fear are partly responsible. If I do not do this, there is a real risk of the sink failing to contain the water before I am through. I have gotten rather good at dumping the water from the jar and keeping the level of water in the sink manageable, but that is hardly something to be proud of. Really, I don't know that I ought to be sharing it.

Plumbing, toastmasters and more
Yesterday evening, while the roommate was doing his part to clean up after that party, the sink went bust, causing us inconvenience and our neighbor water damage. That led to the handy man coming over last night to look at it. He couldn't fix it there and then, so he decided what he needed so that he could fix it this morning. I was left with the task of being around at 8 this morning for the guy. U think he didn't come until 9 or something like that. He had it straightened out in time for me to get to my meeting, though that would have been easier If he had finished a few minutes before. As it is, it worked out.
Regular readers (of whom there are now some) may be aware that on Thursday I have my toastmasters meeting. That remained true today, and I filled a new role for me. Whereas in the past I have filled such diverse roles as speaker, grammarian and table topics master, today I was an evaluator. When I'm asked to do something, I'm glad to do it, but on this occasion, I was somewhat apprehensive about evaluated someone else at this relatively early stage of my own development.
