Excuse my whining, I'm having a bummer of a night/day.

We're having quite a storm here; the wind has been howling and the rain has been pelting for hours now.

I went downstairs to heat up my tea, half-asleep. I kept hearing watery noises, but assumed they were outside. Suddenly it clicked in my head that no, that wasn't outside... I went in the bathroom, and you can imagine my horror at seeing a hole in the ceiling, and plaster and water all over the floor.

This is the leak that our shiny new roof that we (of course) paid thousands of dollars for supposedly fixed. Merry Christmas. Argh.

I could just cry. Instead I grabbed my biggest stockpots, and put them under the leaks (there's actually 2), and mopped up the floor, and Adam can deal with the rest of it when he gets home. Just yesterday I was doing some mental calculating and general reflecting, and thinking that we'd be kind of caught up on things sometime soon. I should have known better than to even THINK that kind of optimism.

Topping it off, I'll be spending today up at Adam's mom's house - yeah, the woman I got out of spending Thanksgiving with - unfortunately, that was only putting off the inevitable.

We're leaving at 10am and we'll be back sometime late tonight... in between, I'll be choking on smoke and suffering through a headache from the noise.

Blah!
