CHEAP!

It's 4:30, in the AM. No, I did not stay up all night 'til now. No, I did not wake up from my blissful, peaceful sleep just to blog. No, I did not wake up from my gloriously, happy slumber because of some emergency. I AM AWAKE BECAUSE MY BEDROOM CEILING IS LEAKING AGAIN.... ON MEEEE!!!

The first time it leaked it was somewhat amusing if you will. I even took pictures :) Of course we were afraid that our whole ceiling was going to cave in due to the almost constant trickle of water down the heavy ceiling fan in the very center of the room....but it was still okay. Plus, it really wasn't a big deal (even if management took several LONG days to fix this issue) because we just plopped a bowl in the middle of the floor (a very BIG bowl...any smaller would have overflowed) and walked around it. The second leak...NOT SO AMUSING. How did I find it??? By waking up to the bottom third of my bed being SOAKED. Now, I promised myself when starting this blog not to get personal....BUT THIS IS PERSONAL (or at least more like a PERSONAL ASSAULT!!!)

Last year I lived in "ritzy housing." I had moved there on accident, only to discover that my whole stake consisted on a congregation full of orange-skinned, blond people. Don't get me wrong, I had fun while it lasted, but I was happy to move somewhere else after that experience. So, we went to the extreme this year for housing...and moved somewhere were rent is CHEAP. I don't recommend that at all. I'm finding out cheap=we need to repair half your apartment on a regular basis. Just FYI. Plus, the only water problems we ever had in the "ritzy" apartment was when some kid decided to pose as maintenance the evening before April Fool's Day and turn off our water heater. We had cold showers for a day, but hey,...it's not like THAT woke me up at 4:30.

Anyway, I am now about to lay my head on the couch because the very big bowl is now on top of my bed doing its thing. This is so WRONG...help :(
