Something Cold and Wet...

The other morning, I sleepily turned off my alarm, clambered out of bed, and shuffled to the bathroom. I turned on the water in the shower, and immediately perceived something wet sliding down my back. The plumbing pipes which are positioned above the ceiling of our bathroom decided to leak, rotting the wood and soaking the ceiling tiles. For a day or two, we had a few bulging tiles which threatened to drop on us when we walked warily beneath them. Now, we have an open 2 foot by 1 foot hole, which has showed us more about the plumbing in our ancient apartment building than we ever wanted to know! All in all, though, I much prefer older rentals with character to newer, prefab ones. Much more interesting to live in. Keeps life an adventure.
