It's unbelievable how much I screw up. I try to do things right and not make the same mistakes, yet I keep doing them. This time, I clogged the toilet, and Mike's away. He got a "heavy-duty" plunger, and it's got a thick rubber plunger thingy, and I need to use both hands to push it down, and it takes quite a bit of muscle. I worked up a bit of a sweat, and that's BAD for my OCD. I just had a shower a few hours ago, and I hate getting sweaty after getting all clean. I couldn't get it to flush from the plunging, but the water went down lower, so I don't know if it cleared or not. I don't think it did, because it usually doesn't mean it's cleared if the plunging doesn't cause it to flush. I'm scared to flush it manually to see if it's ok, for fear it'll rise up and spill out. I don't want to lift the top of the back, because I don't even know how to stop the flushing inside there, and more to the point, the idea of sticking my hand and arm in there makes me cringe.

Pour some water in the bowl, just enough to cover the rubber part of the plunger. Put the plunger in, then pump it up and down several times. You can repeat this if needed. Do it enough times so that you think it is cleared, before you flush it.

You can also take another shower, if needed.
