Well, I did it.
Alert readers will remember our apartment's unusual bathroom plumbing arrangement, specifically the washing machine system, which involves laying the machine's open-ended drain hose in the bathtub every time one does a load of laundry. You may recall my expressed dread at the thought of ever forgetting to put the hose in the bathtub when I put in a load of wash. I think I knew somehow that it would eventually happen.
And it did. Yesterday.
The bathroom flooded and I probably should have been electrocuted as I stood barefoot in the inch-deep water cursing like a sailor. But by some miracle (called a circuit breaker) I was saved. Whether Jake will ever trust me to operate a major appliance again is yet to be determined.

ReplyDeleteI can't believe it! My washer flooded while we were living at Trolley Tracks. I was 9 months pregnant and have a picture of my bare toes in the flood (in my kitchen) and it looks like my water broke. It will always be a funny experience to remember.
ReplyDeleteThe big one finally hit, eh?
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm glad you survived. Maybe you could do a re-creation? I'd like to hear the sailor part as well.
Hi Jasmine-
ReplyDeleteThis is Amber Wade fro the PLC days. I ran across your blog via Todd and Amy's. It looks like you and Jake are having a lot of fun adventures. What a neat experience for you two. Sorry to hear about your washing machine though. (As if doing laundry isn't bad enough in and of itself :). Anyway, I am excited to be able to keep intouch. Checkout our blog when you get a chance.

ReplyDeleteHi Jaz. Sorry about the flood. I wish we had been there. Ben's quick with a towel.
ReplyDeleteOh, do you have Skipper's email? I've lost it...
ReplyDeleteOh, and Ben and I have started a blog.
ReplyDeleteIt's not as cool as yours.
In fact, there aren't any posts.

I'm hoping some exciting things happen to us soon or it's going to be pretty spare for a while.
Hey and looking around I've found that blogging is hip on the PLC scene. I think most of our year has one. The girls anyway. I've had fun looking around.
Ok, this is my last post, I swear.
we miss you.
