A plumbing issue...fixed.

Without calling a plumber even! About a week ago I noticed water under my bathroom sink. I pulled everything out and decided that it was a drain problem. My short term fix was to not use the sink! Notice I said short term LOL.

Some internet searching on another issue (I figured if I was going to fix plumbing issues, I might as well fix them all at once) revealed that fixing my non-sealing drain plug might also be the cause of the leak.

Sure enough, a closer look said the pivot joint for the drain plug was indeed the site of the leak. So, a trip to Home Depot for supplies, several moments of confusion, and more moments of frustration later, I was able to install a new pivot joint and now my sink doesn't leak and will plug tightly.

The best part is I don't have to brush my teeth in the kitchen sink anymore :D
