Stupid ceiling falling on my bed!
So I got home last night with glee. Baboo was going to take me to Olive Garden to reclaim my breadsticks! ha ha. I was wanting those damn things, even if they AREN’T good for my diet, I had already calculated them into my meals for the day. ha ha.
Anyway, so I went into the bedroom to use the bathroom I didn’t bother to turn on the light, I knew were I was going. As I walked past my bed I noticed I stepped on something squishy.
I was thinking that maybe something had spilled and baboo had put a towel or something on it before he left home in the morning. Whatever, no big. I go to turn on the light next to my bed because I wanted to find some perfume. When I turned around my jaw dropped open. The floor was SOPPING with water (I was wearing boots and couldn’t really tell) and the ceiling right next to our television was falling in. I freaked! Not the brand new giant tv!!!
Baboo ran in and found that the TV was fine, but the damn PLAYSTATION 3 had gotten wet! He quickly unplugged it and moved it away and we pushed the tv out of the line of fire. I followed the line of cracks and found a nice big hole RIGHT OVER MY MATTRESS. Yep, water all over my bed. My blankets and pillows SOAKED through. My mattress, I’m scared to see what damage is being done to it. I have this "water protector" thingie on it, but it’s old and really doesn’t do much anymore. I’m just hoping it held up and prevented too much damage. The last thing I need is to have a ruined bed.
Thankfully, after we let it dry, the PS3 was ok.
So after fussing at my landlord and getting really pissed off we went to dinner, which was lovely. I tried this wine called Lebrewski? or something, I forget, but it was actually REALLY GOOD. I wish I could remember what kind it was…. so i just looked it up and it was a "smooth and fruity" wine called Lambrusco Riunite (I guess that link will take you to a site for the people that make the wine? if it is a link, heck if I know, i cut and pasted it)
Anybahoodle, it was really good and I HATE wine normally.
So there ya go.
Unless it’s Champagne, which I guess is technically a wine.
Anyway, I had some delicious chicken parmigana and dinner was lovely.
But then it was back hom eto the terror… which got worse because the ceiling and plaster over my bed started fallin in (now there is a nice hole there) and my mattress was a terrorizing mess and baboo and I had to squeeze into a tiny corner to sleep and I probably slept like 4 minutes the whole night because I was so uncomfortable and I’m scared of the rest of the ceiling just caving in and ruining everything and we still have another storm that is gonna rock the last 3 storms off it’s ass.
So I’m spending today moving stuff. WE already pushed the bed out of MOST of the way, but we can’t move it any further. We are probably gonna move the television to the other side of the room and I’m thinking of moving my computer because it’s right under another patch of ceiling that looks previous repaire d(the part that caved in looked like it had been fixed before) and I’ll be damned if my computer gets fucked up because of another leak.
What a mess.
I might be MIA for a while.
boo! Lets just hope not!

Warning Comment
you should sign up for renters insurance right now incase something happens and it does damage your stuff because your landlord might not pay for it and stuff! renters ins most insurances have it and its usually less than 10 bucks a month i’d do it now just until this is taken care of!
Warning Comment
Oh no!!! I hope he fixes it stat.
Warning Comment
What the hell.
Warning Comment
yikes! 🙁
Warning Comment
Oh, there are no words to describe how PISSED OFF I would be! OMG! I do, however, agree with the renters’ insurance. The complex we used to life in caught fire one night- 2/3 of the building was ruined. Not one of us had renters’ insurance. And it is, for real, pretty cheap. Cheaper than replacing all your shit anyway…

This happened to me once! Out television was ruined, and the landlord basically told us to suck it, suck it hard. I invested in renters insurance after that.
Warning Comment
That is horrible. I can only imagine. I would be to upset to even write an entry after that. You should pretend something got damaged and ask for reimbursment OR some money off of rent, lol.
Warning Comment
holy crap what a disaster!!! at least your electronics weren’t damagaed, but i’d be completely livid about the entire situation! i hope your landlord gets his butt in gear and fixes things asap!!
Warning Comment
It sucks that that happened hun, but I doubt you’ll likely be MIA for a while! (You always manage to find your way around things!) But, thanks for the warning nonetheless anyway! And Ugh, about missing most of a night’s sleep! That would have me fried and feeling mostly unproductive as a functioning person! I do understand your fear though!
Warning Comment
I’d likely sleep in another room, till the problems in the main bedroom, were fixed! Ya can’t go missing sleep cause of that! (At least, when you can help it anyway!) Anyway, glad you enjoyed everything non-related to the problem ceiling in your bedroom! And, hope the problems are fixed before that other storm that’s being anticipated for ya, hits!

HUGS and see ya when we can!

Yikes!!

Oh no, what a mess to come home too but I’m glad nothing expensive got ruined!
Warning Comment
BOOOO!!! But wine does make things better. :/

Damn, that blows.

Renters insurance… I see that other people have already written it, but Renters insurance. RYN: We will survive
Warning Comment
Wow… I’m so sorry, but I’m glad you guys are at least safe. Take care of yourselves.
Warning Comment
Oh dude, that sucks monkey bawls!!!! I love Riunite and I am not a wine drinker. Mmm….you know I have actually heard it refered to as the grown up version of Boones Farm. As if!
Warning Comment
Damn – horrible shit. I have similar issues around the window frame in the computer room. Hate it.
Warning Comment
I think they need to come out with Lebowski brand Sarsaparilla.
Warning Comment
I had a dream a few days ago I was renting the basement of a house and the pipes burst. I kept on finding slushy wet piles all over. I can’t even begin to imagine how horrible it is when that really happens. At least nothing of value was damaged!
Warning Comment
That made me laugh when you put the wine as Lebrewski. Sounds like some bad knockoff of a french beer or wine.
