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.

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

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.

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!

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.
