A peace of mind is all I need right now
Yall Omg this weekend was all over the place. So I am a DIY girlie and I love anything that’s inexpensive. I loveeeeee candles especially when my home is freshly clean. However the stem on my candles were gone Yall and I had so much of the candle left over. So ofcourse I go online to see how I can get the wax out and reuse it. Y’all the first one said to put the candle in the freezer over night and the next day when you stick something sharp inside of it it’ll pop out..well that was a failure I end up breaking a piece of the glass off of it. So not thinking I get my pot and some water and put the dang candle in the pot. Immediately the water flows into the candle but I wasn’t trippen because the wax was going to float to the top. Y’all tell me why after I collected what was left of the wax out of the jar I took the pot of now water and wax and emptied it into my sink. Instantly I turn on the water to wash the wax away but then I noticed the water was not draining. So instantly I panicked. I called maintenance for two days straight Yall they never showed and it’s Saturday. But I had dishes to wash and I can’t stand dirty dishes in my sink for to long. So boom I’m like okay I’ll just use the dish washer. That was the biggest mistake I couldve done y’all. Not knowing this but once the dish washer is done ofcourse it has to drain. Y’all the water from the dish water filled both sides of my sink up. And I had to let it sit there for almost four days. I couldn’t take it anymore. So today I called my dad and he showed me how to take the pipe a loose.. Yall water went every where I had something to catch the water but it wasn’t big enough and it start spilling over all under the sink all on the kitchen floor. So I’m like let me go grab some shoes. Y’all I go into my bedroom closet to find all that filthy water all over the floor my clothes and my shoes were completely soaked. At this point I am over it my floors are drenched and so are my clothes and shoes and the clean up wasn’t easy either because when I poured the wax in the sink I went online and it said to pour hot grease in the sink to melt the wax. So I don’t just have dirty two three day old dish water all over my floors but greasy dirty dish water all over my floors and underneath my sink. I had sweat going down my back trying to get that mess up y’all. I just need a peace of mind right now. On the bright side I have a clean kitchen and my sink is no longer clogged.🥹🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️#justagirl #homehack #sink #cleaning #peaceofmind
