11 Quarts of fun

waterdrop 11 Quarts of funThe leak in my roof is getting worse. Last night, the noise work me up and I realized a 20 oz glass under the drip wasn't going to be enough.

So I got up, went downstairs, got the other mop bucket (mop bucket #1 has already been deployed under another part of the same leak). I put it on the night stand so the water could drip into it.

It's an 11 quart bucket and it was full this morning at 7 am. 5 hours to get to 11 quarts. I think that's pretty impressive. Any idea how hard it is to go to sleep when the water is dripping into the bucket/kabuki drum beside your bed? drip drip de-drip-dripity drip drip drip de-dipity drip drip dipity dipity dipity de-drip drip drip drip.

If this rain ever stops for two whole days, I'll have to act fast to get a roof repair person in to fix it. It's been going on about three weeks now.

sheesh. So what else can I blame being tired on?

    You have a mop bucket? You? Do you also have a mop?

    With all that drip-drip-drip action, how many times did you have to get up to go to the bathroom? To tinkle, of course.

    Sounds like water torture. Maybe the US can use it…

    ironically, I don't have a mop. or if you know me, you know that's not irony at all. 2 mop buckets, no mop…
