These Things Should Happen on Mondays

[said_scarlett]

So, I occasionally read those online horoscope thingies for kicks. Yesterday told me that today, my trails would start early in the morning. This morning I wake up around 4:30 and need to use the bathroom. I'm half asleep, I only turn the nightlight on. Lo and behold, the toilet was plugged up and I didn't notice it. Flushing + Plugged Up Toilet = Fey's Bathroom Flooded. It's 4:30 and no one is awake, and we don't have a plunger in this bathroom. I'm pulling down towels to sop up the floor and desperately trying to find a plunger. Bear in mind this is 4:30 in the morning and I was doped up all of yesterday. The search for a plunger fails and I am in need of still more towels to dry the floor.

Now I am faced with a quandary. My folks are up at 6:00 usually and my sister a half hour or so after that. But it's almost 5, and I can't just leave the toilet with water up to its brim. So I stumble back into my room - literally - and dig out paper. I write a note and intend to tape it to the bathroom door. I can't find any tape. I'm in tears at this point because I don't want anyone coming into the bathroom and making the same mistake I did and I can't think how to stick the note to the door. It takes me about fifteen minutes to grasp the idea of just leaving the note on the toilet. I'm not all that bright in the morning.

Luckily I was still awake in my bed when people got up, and I was able to rush out and warn them, and get the plunger from my parents bathroom to fix the problem before anyone used the bathroom. I think I'm going to spend the rest of the day in bed.

So that explains why the floor was wet around the cabinet. And half the towels were gone. Ironically I was awake. I heard you out there but just figured you were sick or something.

Gah, I didn't get around the cabinet? The water was clean, at least. I'm washing the towels right now, I just stuck them all in a plastic bag and dragged them back into my room. I just wanted to make sure it was clean and everything before you got up - I know you pay about as much attention to stuff in the mornings as I do.

No, I wasn't sick, I was on an epic hunt for first a plunger, then scissors then tape.

Urghhh. Mornings are just so much fun. *hugs*

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Oh, indeed. *snugs*

[chaneystarr.livejournal.com]

It's one of those mornings you regret ever getting out of bed... Woe.

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Woe is right.

Dude, is that your kitty in the icon? Because that is a beautiful kitty!

[chaneystarr.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, no, I don't have an icon of my kitty, although I should make one. I need a psycho icon anyway.

Although that cat resembles our former one. He was a black himalayan and one of the most beautiful cats I have ever seen. Also one of the cuddliest, hehehe.

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

You need a kitty icon! My kitty is not photogenic, sadly, so no icons of her. I actually have no icons of any of my animals....

Himalayans are gorgeous.

That's a picture of my psycho!kitty a friend took while visiting, hehe. He held still long enough, amazingly. Doesn't happen alot unless he's sound asleep.

Also? This icon so makes me think of you *giggles*

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Pretty grey kitty! He looks so elegant in that picture. :D

Heehee! Sporfle! That is one of my favorite internet words. :D

[chaneystarr.livejournal.com]

Yeah, don't let him fool you. He's normally hanging upside down off the side of the recliner with his eyes bugging out of his head. *snerks*

Hahaha, and I'd never heard it before you said it, and then I saw that and died, hahaha.

Our puppy - who is no longer a puppy, even though she still looks like it - is like that. So cute and floppy when she's resting, but completely spastic the rest of the time.

It is not a widely used word, I am learning. I don't know where I picked it up. But it best describes the noise I actually make when I laugh at loud at things. :D

[chaneystarr.livejournal.com]

Tahahaha, yeah, exactly that. The only time Pekoe holds still is when he's asleep, and barely then, because he flops upside down with legs splayed in every which direction to sleep. Crazy cat.

Hahaha, sporfle is so officially your word in my head now, hehehehe.

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Ah, animals. The fuzzies are the same way. They're all piled on top of each other in a boneless mess now, but the minute they come out they'll be yowling like monkeys in heat and climbing over everything.

Yay! I have a word!

[chaneystarr.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, awww. And yes, I expect pekoe to be doing the same once he wakes up and decides it's time for me to feed him, hahaha.

You do! ;) You also have an anime, as anytime I see or hear anything related to Tactics, you pop into my head, hahaha.

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Eeeep. Yeah, I know how all that goes - the downstairs toilet's been acting up again, so that's been loads of fun. Stupid thing.

*Hugs* Hopefully the rest of the day goes better for you!

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Irk, that toilet is such a pain in the ass.

I'm spending it in bed, seriously. On vicaden again, wheee!

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it is. It was fine all summer, with just one person... I guess two people's worth of 'traffic' is just a bit too much for it sometimes. *Headdesk*

Irk. Weather change getting on you?

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Obviously, its raised platform is overcompensation for it's lack of pipe strength. *nods*

Oh hells yes! I had to leave work yesterday because of it, everything seized up on me and I could hardly walk. I was hobbling around here on my cane like I was over the winter up in Seattle. We are having an unusually wet and cold spell. On the plus side, I've gotten up a tolerance to where I can be perfectly coherent and functioning on vicaden.

One of these days, I will get to the point where no medicine works on me any longer.

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure the screwy pipeline is part of the problem, honestly - what with having to run the pipes in funny directions and all, that probbly explains why it backs up more than usual.

One of these days, I will get to the point where no medicine works on me any longer.

That's exactly what I thought of when you said you can function well on it, now. That's dangerous, there - you don't want to not use it when you need it, but you don't want to get used to it so it's not effective when you really need it.

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't be surprised.

I hate having such a high tolerance for medication. I knew it was high when three IVs worth of morphine still weren't getting rid of my pain when I first broke my back. At least the roboxin doesn't seem to be losing any of its potency. I only take it when I'm flat out and can't move, and at least that doesn't happen very often down here.

Holy cats. What a way to start one's day. Better yet?

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

So far, so good! I got laundry done and am now staying in bed trying to finish up one of my original stories. I ought to get working on my biography for my writer's portfolio, but I am lazy today. :D

I'm just glad it stopped raining for a bit, the damp yesterday was hell on my joints.

[boimim.livejournal.com]

I enjoyed the gloom for a few hours yesterday, but gradually slipped into, "Alright. Enough now."

narf

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

It made it feel more like fall, anyway. :D

[boimim.livejournal.com]

This is true, but couldn't we all do without the damp? I mean, damn.

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

The damp was miserable, and it got damn brutal out there. I drove through two flooded intersections on the way to work.

Urgh. Just what you need before the world wakes up.

((hugs))
