Oh, yeah.

Twilight Zone marathons make life worth living.

Water, water everywhere.

For some time now, we've been dealing with two problems in our shower/tub. A slow drain and when the taps are turned off water continued to dribble out. This combined to make every shower a bath waiting to happen, but that problem wasn't that bad.. until this weekend. The dribble turned into a flow, and the drain completely stopped draining.

Ever have to bail out a bathtub?

Luckily the apartment managers got a plumber out here early this morning. The bad news is the taps are shot and old (like everything here) and he won't get the parts he needs until Wednesday. That, and even after using some impressive looking gear, he couldn't dislodge the blockage in the drain. He did remove a pretty amazing amount of hair, though.

So we're without a shower until Wednesday at the earliest. baka49er lives nearby, and we can use hers, which will be nice. But I am not looking forward to cleaning the tub after the plumber is done.

Typical. I turn 40 and the apartment falls apart!
