not an ideal day, all things considered

Things that happened to me today:
1. Drove over a big chunk of ice that tore loose part of the plastic shield under my car engine. The plastic segment is now hanging down and scraping against the road when I drive, which makes a horrible racket and cannot possibly be good for my poor car. I have made an appointment with Goodyear to get it looked at tomorrow, and will get Mr. Geniality to drive me from Goodyear to work.
2. My kitchen sink clogged up again, the same way it did at the end of October. I dumped as much of the standing water as I could into my bathroom sink (which is draining fine), and have texted Landlord Dude to come unclog it tomorrow.
3. Found a dead mouse in the cabinets under the kitchen sink. *sigh* It had been there at least a day, long enough for its fur to separate from its belly and get solidly glued to the shelf by miscellaneous dried body fluids. The eyes were still intact, though, so it hadn't been too long. Anyway, I flicked it out into the snowy waste of the back yard (I didn't want to shovel my back steps just to dispose of a mouse), scrubbed down the shelf, and bleached the daylights out of the snap trap.
I will need to set a new trap after Landlord Dude fixes my drains.
...
In other news, the Three Sentence Ficathon fill that got away from me is now 2,075 words and counting. What even is my life. *headdesk*
