Wednesday's "Clean Me" is a small but important victory. For the first time in more than two weeks, not one single fly emerged from my kitchen drain.
If you ever find yourself in this predicament, I recommend Earthworm. This remedy was time consuming -- overnight every night for six nights -- but it was safe for both my plumbing and my fur family, and that was important to me.
I laid in a couple extra bottles, plus baking soda and vinegar, and hopefully with regular maintenance this will never happen again.
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 60!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live in the burbs and work in the city (Chicago, the best city in the world). I'm an aunt, a friend and a colleague. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
