it's been a rough day. i don't even have time to get into the whole mess of my massive flood. thankfully nothing was majorly damaged, only majorly wet. well, the facet it broken, but it was not working from the get-go which caused the problem.
i got my laundry done at the melles's, came home for a 3 hour nap, and am about to leave to go see the acorn at the grad club. i'm thinking that will be a nice end to this disaster of a day.
it's been interesting because i've been spending a lot of time thinking about independence over the last week. this day was a great reminder of how much i don't want to endure these types of experiences alone anymore. it coincidentally happened the one weekend brendan was out of town. fighting with an exploding facet was too much for me, the freezing cold water poured all over me and in my face making it hard to breathe. i felt panicky. i needed it to stop but it poured on for 20 to 40 minutes. it leaked thru the opening in my floor, thru the ceiling of the apartment below me, thru their floor into the basement onto our furnace. the whole experience made me miserable. the water eventually got turned off, but the facet is still broken, it won't be replaced until monday. in the process, me and the girl who lives below me tried turned off all the taps we could find in the cellar (and yet missed the one we needed to switch off), and i think one of them was the hot water because i currently have none. but when i went back downstairs i couldn't get the tap to turn again and after this morning's incident i'm gunshy when it comes to forcing unfamiliar taps. i'll just have to make do until monday and i'll leave a note for the plumber.

well i just got in from the grad club. the show was great. i love the acorn. it was redemptive.
i was thinking today how it rained both outside and inside my apartment. it was just a plain old yucky day.
on a brighter side of my weekend, i discovered this really awesome website: www.etsy.com it's got the coolest stuff. i'm totally gonna keep scoping it out from time to time. there's nothing i'm particularly in need of right now, but something neat might show up. check it out!
i'm thankful for good friends who helped me get thru the day.
got pulled in by the flood,
and it pulled your body under.

Oh, I love etsy! Glad you found it.
I'm sorry yesterday was so sucky. I'm glad it ended well, at least. Hopefully all water issues are soon cleared up.
I think it is great to be able to be independent, but not to have to be. I have never really had the chance to test my ability at it. I have no idea how I'd fare.
