santa hates me

The plumber is here now, ripping parts of my kitchen apart to figure out where the water is coming from. Starting from the bottom shelves, they're now up to the countertop to figure out where the problem is. It could be anywhere on the side of the building, in my wall or upstairs or anywhere. Drywall is being smashed. I have kitchenware on my already cluttered table and am ready to empty another shelf to hunt down the elusive burst.

What this means is that, for the second consecutive year, I may ruin Christmas for my family.

The snow is already making my brother nervous, and with another dump predicted for Tuesday/Wednesday, I thought the snow would keep them away. If I tell my mother that half of my kitchen is torn up...

Fuck, I need a drink.

Oh, crap! Why now? I hope it's fixed soon.

Poo! What a bother! sounds like a pipe has burst...or more likely a pipe join! Can't your family ( if they come at all) stay at your sister's???? Maybe you should pretend you are not home and come over to my place. At least you know where the water shut off is located!!! When this happened at my mum's place we didn't know and hasd to call the city to turn off the main!!!
