FML

i was heading for my bedroom to grab my sweater, happened to look into the bathroom as I passed it and stopped, aghast. It was flooded. Not just the toilet is backed up, it's backed up into the shower about two inches deep. 

I have an an emergency call in to GK, and will probably end up spending the night at her place, because forget trying to get a plumber at night/during a weekend. IDK--she's coming by with drain cleaner in a bit...she has work in the morning, wasn't real thrifted to hear about this crisis, but what was I supposed to do, started calling random plumbers in the phone book? That could wipe me out. Meanwhile, my house smells like a sewer. Lovely.
