First day back from a two-week vacation in Europe and....SPLATTER! Maybe it's jet lag, maybe it's the after-effects of European cuisine.

Today's turd had a peculiar horseshoe shape, which I thought would bring me good luck.


I was sadly mistaken. My horseshoe did not sit well with the plumbing. With the water level rising....


....I had to bail myself out.

Wow...apparently I still haven't recovered.

Today's dump was a complete mess. Even I find it a little revolting. I got very little sleep last night, which may have thrown me into some sort of physiological imbalance.

Wow, this was surprisingly long. But the plumbing was able to handle it.

Looks like things are back to normal....Excellent.

Last night's seafood pasta led to....


....today's logjam!

I tried to clean up the mess myself with a plunger, but gave up and bolted before I was discovered. Fortunately, order had been restored by the time I returned later in the day.
