Pity me. I have no running water in my house. It had to be turned off. A drip started from the cieling in the downstairs bathroom. Nothing was running up here, or had overflowed, so something must be leaking in a pipe somewhere. I’ll have to wait until Monday morning for a plumber. The tenants are remarkabley understanding. We all filled buckets to use for flushing, and I’m going to buy some bottled water, for me and them, for drinking. No baths though. I could go to my folks, but thankfully just now I’m clean. Tomorrow evening maybe I’ll go there. This is such a pain. ---

I didn’t want to sleep in today anyway. Stoopit canine. It’s supposed to be overcast but mild today. Then the front hits, and tomorrow we could get 5-8" of snow. Swell. \*\*FCD \*\*has a Dr appt tomorrow, but it may have to be postponed. I’m hoping this doesn’t affect my dental appt on Tues, but who knows?

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 41 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 79 for the day. I’ll take it! Looks like we’ll have highs in the low 50s towards the end of the week however. Still better than what some of y’all are gettin’. **DeathMistress** here’s hopin’ the water leak thing is minor. Still sucks mightily to be sans runnin’ water. ICK! Now I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants sustenance. Then, purtification for deheathenization shall commence. Today is brunch Sunday. I have some bbq chickin laigs, green beans and a gallon each of sweet and unsweet tea to take for that. I made dindin for last night and that for today pretty much at the same time yestiddy. I feel so efficient! 😃 Happy Sunday Y’all! ---

Blah. I was up late working on applications and woke up early to go to the bathroom. I am currently a zombie. Also can someone please explain this to me: if you know that I can’t stand watching tv programs about rape, baby murder, extreme violence, etc. and you always say that you’d like me to remain in the same room with you while I’m eating my breakfast or just to hang out in general, why would you watch such programs when I’m in the room? It’s a really fast way to get me to exit the scene. :dubious: ---

Up again, showered, dressed, and breakfast is in the oven. The sun is out, but I see clouds to the west - the approaching snowmageddon, dammit. After we eat, we’ll take our trash and recycling. \*\*FCD \*\*will do a water change today. I’ll empty the dishwasher. That may be as productive as we get. 😃 ---

Beyond that, who cares?? Stoopid impending snow. Hate to be a party pooper but it’s probably going to be worse here: this is a strange west to east storm with DC to Annapolis right in the crosshairs. Here are [two new](http://www.erh.noaa.gov/lwx/winterstorm/) [NWS websites](http://www.erh.noaa.gov/lwx/winter/) I recently found which have proven very accurate for these last few storms. They show I am in a 10" - 14" band, and you are in the 8" - 10" band. Topper has been amped about this one for days, and work has reserved hotel rooms near the station for tonight. Tomorrow is gonna suck. Enjoy being home tomorrow. ---

FCM. I got the patterns! I think I’ll try the men’s mitten first, mittens don’t seem gender specific to me, and that one seems to be done in one piece, no sewing on of the thumb. Thanks s much1 I just made a cup of tea with reserved water. ---

\*\*tugig \*\*- it’s posts like that which will cost you my friendship! 😛 And I’ll be home tomorrow anyway - I’m now on a 3-day-a-week schedule. So neener neener. Breakfast casserole is almost done.

Breakfast has been inhaled - doggone, that casserole is good. It’s in the Mumper Recipe Blog, if anyone is interested. Plus we’re just back from the convenience center - all trash and recycling has been taken care of. I need to empty and refill the dishwasher. I’m avoiding it. But I can’t for much longer. ugh. ---

Happy Sunday! Until I saw the projected weather. All I can say is I give a great big one finger salute to Maryland weather. It’s screwing with my home search and it means the HFH won’t be going out either. I thought her husband was supposed to be back by now and they were leaving but I’m still stuck here with the (expletive). No party last night, the hostess wasn’t feeling well. Won’t be any party tonight because everybody is worried about preparing for the snow. I need to go to the store, joy and happiness. ---
