Flashback end of year activities
Some of the last things we did in 2021 included getting our toilet “pumped” and taking a very harrowing trip to the village Elondi. These events were supposed to occur on the same day, so that we wouldn’t be home when the sewer man came, but unfortunately he decided to show up a day late so we had to endure the situation. Thankfully I can’t smell much worth anything. We closed the window closest to the toilet shed and turned on the fan in the house. The sisters disappeared for most of the morning (I don’t know where they went) and Orcxance went to work. Molly and Eileen didn’t complain about the smell but I had terrible allergies most of the day. Not sure if that was related to the toilet situation or not.
The process basically involved some rope, random tools and large plastic bottles and a lot of tedious work. He dug a gigantic hole right outside our toilet shed and then spent several hours doing something like hauling up buckets of water out of a well. Except it wasn’t water. He put all the nasty in the big hole he’d dug and then heaped it over with dirt.
