At this point, all I can do is laugh.

So, they came to replace the hot water heater today.

Half an hour after they left, I noticed a weird sound coming from the closet where said hot water heater lives. I stood up to check it out and realized that the entire patch of carpet leading into the living room had been mysteriously transformed into a lake. The brand new hot water heater, it turns out, was hemorrhaging water.

The water has now been shut off, I've put on my Mean Face and threatened to call the health department about black mold violations, and the landlord has sworn up and down that this will be taken care of first thing tomorrow morning.

Oh yeah, it turns out that Mercury went retrograde yesterday. That explains so much. And I don't even believe in astrology!

Putting on my mean face is tiring. I think I'm going to bed.

Did the lake come with a nice beach, and a nice hot sun for you to tan on?

I'm sorry! That happened at my partner's house, but the one we don't live in up in Fort Bragg, and since no one was there, the whole house flooded and so much stuff was ruined... I worry about mold, too.;) I hope it's all better soon. and hi.--katie
