When I got home tonight, I washed out my coffee cup, as I always do upon walking in the door. This is a very important milestone in my evening. It means that I can make my coffee as soon as I shut the water off. Only tonight, the guy downstairs came up to tell me that water was pouring from his ceiling. It was like stabbing a voodoo doll. I run water and your place is affected. There's no water issue up here....not a drop out of place and yet his house was requiring oars.
So during our episode of Scorpion Equinox today, the landlord showed up to eliminate the potential for creating a bigger pond on the first floor. Things always seem to happen on Wednesdays. Not a Hump day for me...more like a Harumph day. Then I have to haha...giggle it away on air...to be preserved in the archives forever.
For one of the first nights since being here, I did not do the dishes last night. This is in accordance with the landlord needing to walk in today.
When he was done, and I was off the air, I noticed a text that said he might need to snake my sink.
Whhhhat?
Yep. It was true. Sink was filling up. And the dishes only became more. Dishes beget more dishes creating lineage 9 times removed from the original fork.
Well I'll tell you what. I got brave. I decided to run that hot ass water on slow, wear the rubber gloves to avoid scalding my beautiful, dry 42 year old hands, and wash as best as I could in spurts. So HA, laws of sending over the landlord! I may have some pots and pans to do still but he will never know that there were 32 pieces of flatware, 3 cups, 1 mug, 1 travel mug and a Pyrex bowl as well.

I love this!!!
This was a really fun read. It's surprisingly impressive in so many ways. I was unable to stop reading once I started. I was both entertained, and taught a bit of philosophy.
