water, water, everywhere
There's water coming through our ceiling in the bathroom, and I have these awful visions of the guy upstairs dead in his bathtub. Not just little drips, but running down the sheetrock and causing it to bulge, connoting a serious amount of water in the apartment upstairs. Our toilet has stopped working too, and we had to call emergency maintenance. It sucks to do that to someone on Thanksgiving, but I console myself with the knowledge he's getting time and a half at least for holiday work.

Similarly, I'm staying at my parents' a few days, right? Her across the street neighbor's daughter in law from Maryland called this morning to ask my mother to check on the neighbor, because she hasn't been around for 12 hours or something. I was vaguely interested, thinking something exciting might have happened. Scandal! or something. But she had just been on the phone since 9pm the last evening and wasn't answering her call waiting.

No scandal? What a shame. It always makes the holidays more interesting, especially if you've got to be at home with the parents.
