These Things Should Happen on Mondays
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.

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