pop pop, fizz fizz...oh, what a life it is!

God takes care of us in the funniest ways sometimes. See, I am never home during the day. We don't have a table, and it's just too distracting to do homework there most of the time. Yesterday, however, mostly due to frustration, I went home to eat lunch and just be there.


So there I was, sitting in the living room with my laptop, when I heard it: POP! Then the sound of shooting water. Confused, I ran back toward the bathroom only to see water spraying every which way and gushing across the floor at an alarming rate. I ran throughout the trailer looking for a place to turn off the water, finally calling my roommate in a bit of a panic. She didn't know. I ran outside and called to my neighbor, who looked but was unable to find it as well. I ran down to the maintenance man working on a nearby trailer. After a little searching, he found the valve (under a wooden box in the backyard...of course. Why didn't I think of that?) and turned off the water. I returned to the bathroom to see it flooded. Oh well. The maintenance guys had it fixed pretty quickly, and the carpet is drying out...slowly. It smells a little (or a lot) musty in the house at the moment.


Honestly, in the midst of an unbelievably frustrating day, that was the best part. When things like that go wrong, it's just plain funny. And isn't it funny that God chose a burst pipe as his way to remind me he's watching out for me? Amazing.

In more new, the ant infestation is back. Any ideas?
