Welcome to my day:

Which includes the water shut off in the building because of a water heater:

Not just any water heater, our water heater – in our bedroom closet. Our water heater that is preventing me from taking a hot shower for more then a minute. Our water heater that is keeping me from my kitchen and baking an autumn loaf and onion tart. Our water heater that is making me lock Aos and Windigo in my studio so they don’t leap from the balcony being the silly furbabies they are. Our water heater that currently has a hose connected to it that runs out of the bedroom:

Past my studio, into the living room, past our altar and finally over the edge of the balcony:

When I said I always wanted to have an altar by flowing water – I didn’t mean like this. And yet… I know the gods are laughing somewhere at this little joke. But you know, somehow, this is all making me chuckle too.

Have a wonderful Friday the 13th!

    ooh, i like your alter. As for cats, my cat goes out on my balconey. I was really afraid at first but she is a good girl.

    Sorry for your day!

    The gods may be laughing, but your day’s making me smile too.

    Our water pump packed it in on the 13th too. Strange karma. Sitting on the roof in 105F heat getting a seized impeller to rotate to work. But afterwards a cold Labatts Blue. Yeah!
