New morning workout!

I tried a new morning workout, which I think has some potential. 

I call it the "Emergency Wipe and Wring". here's how it works: 



  • Pop back home before work to check on the kitties.
  • See that the dishwasher left the sink brim-full of water and there's a half-inch of water covering the kitchen floor.
  • Swear, long and loudly.  Deep breaths, get that blood pumping!
  • Grab a towel, and a bucket.  Step up!
  • Bend over, swish towel around water.  Stretch it!
  • Straighten up, wring towel into bucket. Push! 
  • repeat thirty times, until kitchen floor is merely damp.  Work it! 

For an extra digit- exercise, call the management and see how fast they can get a plumber over.

DAMMIT!

Oh, and I left my phone on the computer desk.

Huh. That explains why you didn't respond to my nice, detailed text message explaining the situation.

In good news, the cats were fine.

towels are for people

You DO know we have a mop, right?

The mop frankly, was too small. It would have taken forever to get all that water up.

Besides, you can't get the proper bend and stretch with a mop.

You guys SERIOUSLY need to find a way to move elsewhere. These issues happen to you every other month. That, combined with the neighbors from HELL would have driven me out long ago.

Not until we can find someone who can SERIOUSLY scan our new place for bad feng sui. Geez laweez, we've got bad luck with water!

Oh, man, I'm sorry -- what a pain!

Only if you don't stretch your back out properly beforehand.
