think of the yarn!

This morning, the tube that connects the toilet tank to the pipe came dislodged—I guess years of sitting still got boring. A geyser of water came shooting out (thankfully, I was home at the time—unthankfully, I was alone) and immediately flooded the bathroom, the hall, and the guest room.

When I ran downstairs to find my phone to call maintenance, it was raining on the first floor. Leaking all over the living room, through the spaces between the hardwood floors of the second floor (yay(?) for exposed beams and thus no real ceilings in the apartment). A half-inch of water on the floor of the living room, all over the couch, just . . . just . . . raining.
