How quickly things go agly...
I hardly got any of my planned activities done to day, and it's all not the fault of the cats. Admittedly I'm used to them spilling water from their bowl, but this time it wasn't the case.
Upon investigation they weren't responsible for the puddle of water on the kitchen floor; it turned out the pipes from my garbage disposal were cracked around the threads. The entire below-sink pipe assembly needed replacing, and there went pretty much the whole afternoon. it would probably be easier to have called the apartment management for a plumber, but that route has enough complications that I felt it was easier to just do it myself. And besides, I ended up with a new jar of pipe glue and a 3-way saw. Never know when those might come in handy.
At least I got to poke around one bookstore, found a cheap CD-ROM replacement, and tried some fairly pathetic ribs. Maybe tonight I'll get to a coffee shop. And tomorrow I go hiking.
