I woke up this morning at 4:45 to a strange sound. It sounded like... running water. Rather a lot of it, actually. After determining that yes, I really was awake and I really did hear that obnoxious sound, my thought process went something like this:
Step 1: What the hell is someone doing taking a shower this early in the morning?
Step 2: Wait, the shower isn't that loud from my room. And there are only three of us (including me) home this weekend. Also, I'm the only one who has to be anywhere today, so why would anyone else be up?
Step 3: *Last, desperate attempt at not-having-to-get-up-to-investigate* Is it, perhaps, raining very hard? So hard, perhaps, that it's... somehow making loud noises inside the house?
Whereupon, with much grumbling and "no, no, please no, don't be anything bad" sorts of commentary, I pulled on my robe and went to investigate. And immediately outside my door landed my foot in a good inch of standing water.
"No, no, no... bad, bad, very very bad..."
I'll spare you the direct quotes from here out. Long story short( The story )
For some weird reason, I don't have a "ohmigod this is a fucking disaster and I'm so pissed off and exhausted" icon. Note to self - make icon to that effect as soon as am not completely flat on my butt tired and avoiding another go with the shop-vac.
