Temp: 19 degrees
Wouldn't you know it, the day after a 100F degree scorcher, and I'm thinking "hoowee, I finally picked a good day to book off - it's going to be awesome" - and you know what? I wake up to pouring rain. Yup, I booked today and tomorrow off close to two months ago, and here I am stuck indoors as it pours rain outside, all day.
Of course, we DO need the rain... my lawn in loving it - but that still doesn't change the irony...
So today's a pretty boring day. I'm just puttering around the house doing miscellaneous chores, and fumbling with the shower once again. I fill the basin up, past the lip, with water (from buckets), let it stand half an hour, and there's absolutely no leaking. I jump in and slosh around, jumping here and there to see if it's got to do with weight being on the floor, but still no leaks. I let all the water drain, and no leaks. I fill the think up again by running the shower for 10 minutes and repeat the whole process, but still no leaks. I just don't get it - I know, I keep saying I'm going to call a plumber, but I talked to a plumber on the weekend and he said I do these tests first... well, I guess I've saved myself a big hole in the kitchen ceiling, cause that's the alternative - cut a big hole in the ceiling to get at the plumbing from the bottom. Okay fine, so it's not the basin that's leaking - ehat the heck is it then???
I also made the mistake of playing poker today and lost $70 of my hard earned winnings in a single day - that'll learn me... well, I've still above the amount I bought in for by $5, so I'm still in the black. I can earn it back.. I'm sure of it.
