I forgot to clean out the drip pipe

I really don’t have time to deal with that right now

Being a homemaker is no easy job. This is especially true when you have five kids, a dog, and a ferret. I’m always forgetting something important. This summer, I forgot to clean out the drip pipe in the air conditioner. I usually do it at least once a year when I clean my heating and air conditioning system but this year I didn’t get around to doing either of those things. So my heating and air conditioner did not get cleaned and then I did not get the pipe flushed out either. I paid the price when I was taking a load of laundry down into the basement to wash. I ended up slipping and falling on my back in a pool of water. I had no idea where all this water was coming from. I thought it might have been something that the dog did or maybe it came from the washing machine. After picking myself up off the floor, along with the dirty laundry, I surveyed the situation. It was then that I discovered that all of the water had come from my air conditioning system. It was only then that I remembered that I had forgotten to clean out the drip pipe this year. I hope that all of that water is not going to cause a mold problem in my walls or floors. I really don’t have time to deal with that right now. I am fortunate that I did not get seriously hurt when I fell. I think I might start paying an HVAC company to come and service my heating and air conditioning unit from now on in order to take away some of my burden.
