Some things gone, ceiling has a hole

February 5th, 2005 at 04:08 am

Well after school today two of my male colleagues came and took my lemon w/d unit which I've been trying to get rid of for eons, as well as my roll top desk. I'm donating them both to a fundraiser garage sale. Hmm, wonder which one will bring in more money. Smile

While they were getting the things loaded on their truck, I went into the kitchen to get them some water. Well, I took a look at my kitchen ceiling. This morning before I left for work there had only been a foot long or crack on one side with maybe a quarter inch of space. But when I looked at it 10 hours later, there were two foot and half cracks on either side, along with a bit of a crack starting on a third side, with about an inch or maybe two inches of gap. I called my apartment manager. The maintance guy came over and saw what the floor next to my water heater looked like (next to my W/d unit with tiles peeling off and mushy soft spots) and he saw my kitchen ceiling. He ended up cutting a big hole in my ceiling (where the leak was) and covering it with plastic and ducktape (which isn't holding very well). He's going to come over on Monday and fix up the ceiling and maybe the tiles in the water heater closet too. I'm wondering if I should ask my colleague if I can have Monkey (my cat) stay with her Sunday night and Monday so I don't have to worry about the door being open (escape hatch!)

On my way back from Bible study tonight I was sorely tempted to stop and get some junk food. SORELY tempted! But my jeans cutting into my stomach, as well as remembering what a fiasco my stop turned into last time, I conquered it! Yay for me! Smile

I'm mucho mucho exhausted, and so am going to hit the hay a bit early tonight.
