honeymonsterLast Wednesday I was on the phone with Steve when we got cut off. Problem with my phone service again, which is super weird, because I've got the free cell service plan they will give you when you are poor. They apparently couldn't deal with it in text messages, so I had to drive to Rona's the next day to use her phone. It took about half an hour and two separate guys to fix it. I'm told this shouldn't happen next month, but we'll see..
About an hour after I got home I got a text message that one of the charges on my debit card had been rejected. Did I make this charge? NO the fuck I didn't. So I clicked the number they sent. The lady on the other end was very helpful.They'd send me a new card, it should arrive in December. Oh no. Oh, and the other charge I'd noticed that I also hadn't made? She'd file a complaint for me.
I'm so glad they noticed something because if the one they texted me about had also gone through, I'd be out of money. Entirely.
Friday I had Steve over! We watched a bad movie and played with the cat. It was a good time.
Saturday I had Pete over for dinner. The food was good! Freddy avoided him.
Sunday I slept a lot.
Monday, therapy, grocery shopping, quick visit with Rona.
I was in bed reading with the cat Monday night when I heard a weird noise. Freddy heard it too. A rapid pattering. So I got up and turned on the hallway light, which was a mistake. Water was pouring out of it. Just water. Out of the light fixture, onto the carpet. I dumped my recycling out of the plastic bin I keep it in and put that under the light. I thought something had happened to my neighbor upstairs, the loud one. So I called 911. The lady on the other end reminded me that the light shouldn't be on, and I should probably leave because it was dangerous. So I sat out front for like a minute. A cop showed up and I let him into my apartment. He scared Freddy. I had to wait outside again while he checked on the apartment upstairs. Nothing wrong there. Three firemen came into my apartment. They couldn't figure out what was going on, though they did figure out how to turn off the power to my whole apartment. They're the ones who told me to call the apartment manager's number. Of course he wasn't there, but there was a message that told me to push zero if there was a maintenance emergency, which I think this qualified as.
So about five minutes after the firemen left, a maintenance guy I'd never met showed up. Apparently he was a temp and didn't know the building, and since the water seemed to have stopped by then, he'd come back in the morning.
In the morning, about an hour before he said he'd be there, he knocked on my door. Apparently there was a clog and an overflow in the bathroom of an apartment on the THIRD floor. And that's where the water came from. He put my light fixture back together. The end.
Yesterday I slept all day.
Today I made a pumpkin pie for the first time in years, and this time I made my own crust!
Oh, and my new debit card arrived.
I have to go feed the cat and make some soup now.
