When it rains...it pours.
Last night we had a huge rain/lightening/thunder storm. It woke me up off and on from about 4:30 on. At around 5:30 or so, as I'm trying to will myself back to sleep, I hear this weird plinking sound. I felt that dread when you just know that something is wrong. Sure enough, it was raining in the living room! I had a leak...and it was no little drip...it was sizable. I immediately ran down and grabbed some bowls to catch most of it. Then it started in another spot, so Genia and I scooted the love seat out of the line of fire. (by then the lightening and thunder had woken up my roommate) The cats were freaking out both because of the noise and the fact that we were moving things around. Sheesh. What a pain. It's time to finally replace the roof I'm thinking. I think I'm ready for this week to be over...is it Friday yet?

Posted by: Whitney at May 7, 2008 03:06 PMOh no! That totally sucks :( Jesse doesn't look too happy about it, either.

Posted by: Wanda at May 7, 2008 09:36 PMThe rain totally woke me up too. 5:30 and unable to go back to sleep. Ugh.
I'm sorry about the leak, but on the bright side - you don't have to refill the cat's water bowl for a while. :D
Posted by: Ella at May 7, 2008 11:19 PMOh man! That sucks.
Posted by: Michelle at May 8, 2008 09:03 AMThat really was quite a rainstorm. It was a good day to stay in and knit...too bad it wasn't on the weekend. What a shame about the leak. That's a big pain.

Posted by: michaele at May 9, 2008 07:36 AMJust stumbled on your blog and the kitty cat picture caught my attention - so cute and the poor thing looks scared. We had a storm the other day, thunder, lightening, hail and snow ... yes, lots of snow (I live in Canada). My cat was under the bed.
