Still more plumbing. I haven't yet been able to identify where the plumbing leak is, and the plumber I called has not responded to a message on his machine. So currently the upstairs bathroom is a mess, though the shower and sink are still functional. Today I need to put the toilet back one way or another, whether there's a leak or not. We've got company coming.
My niece Tina and her toddler Violet will arrive in SD on Saturday and my sister Rita will pick them up from the airport. They'll stay with us a couple of days and visit Mom, who has yet to meet her youngest great-grandchild. She's looking forward to it.
News today is of Putin's call for more conscripts to fight his losing battle in Ukraine. News on that fight is front and center of my news consumption, and the uptick in rhetoric about the invasion sent another chill through me as I think about what it all might mean for the rest of the world. It's a dangerous situation, with one man with a grudge and an ego to match feeling cornered and condemned by the West. He's got a lot of power over what Russia does, but perhaps his latest gamble will undermine the support he has for his actions against Ukraine.
So my plumbing problems are pretty small in comparison to the devastation happening in Ukraine, but I look forward to getting that situation resolved.
