8 AM WAKE UP CALL


I HOPE YOU'LL FIND THI AMUSING... I KNOW I HAVE :)

*trinkle* *splash* *trinkle* *splash* *trinkle* *splash*
"mmmmmmm....? I think i need to top up the aquarium again...mmmmmmm", I thought in a half dazed sleep state at 8am.
*eyes shoot open*
Suddenly i sit straight up off the couch, flinging my poor Fat Cat onto the floor (who, i might add was rather comfortably sleeping on my shoulder)
"EEEK! I DONT HAVE THE AQUARIUM HERE!"
I quickly discerned that the sound was coming from behind me. From behind my curtins. I slowly let my gaze drift upwards...
"mmmm. welll, I suddenly dont feel quite so bad about flooding the downstairs apt's livingroom w/ my balcony's water last week." I thought half cheerfully. Apparently, the balcony above me has retained enough water that it decided to escape said balcony by dripping in a rather annoying set of 2 streams down my balcony doors and into my livingroom. It was right about then that I noticed the splash radius included.... my computer desk and tower!
"ackh!!!!!!!" I closed the curtians, trying my best to keep back the splishing and splashing, and began pulling my computer desk away from the window...putting most of the powere into my, you guessed it, my right arm and hand.
"eiyeye!!!!! (french equivalent to ouch!)"
I still pulled back my desk and tower, this time using my left hand and arm moreso ten my right.
once thaat was said an done, i scarambled to find my two buckets and some towels. Thankfully, i had already laid a cple of my small flannel blankets down at the bottom of the door to keep out drafts. This managed to keepthe water from pooling over onto my floor. Once i had the buckets in place i went downstairs in my lovely blue pj's and pink slippers to let the landlady know that I a slight problem.
"I thought water sounds were supposed to be stress relieving?", I prayed as i went back upstairs from the landlady.
"ummm...Lord? I beginning to have issiues with this....", I smiled slightly as i found my way back into my cardboard box of an apartment (which i dearly love even though it is small) and continued praying
"seriously tho. I know you promised that you would not flood our world again, but I am beginning to have serious doubts abou your intientions towards my apartments." I was now giggling somewhat uncontrollably, but ina good way
"really now Lord. One apartment flooded 4 yrs ago...and then 2 yrs ago my last apartment floods too, sumwhat less that time tho...."
Then it dawned on me. Where had I been each time said water had paid me a visit?
"wait a minute!!!!!!!! Lord?.... are you trying to tell me I sould sleep in my bed more often?!"
I burst out laughing. I could not hold it in any longer. Perhaps it was the fact that i had only just gotten to sleep a few hours before. Or maybe it was the fact that I try to work through things using humor. Or perhaps i was just being silly. Either way, I could not for the life of me stop laughing.
"well i'll tell you lord the same thing I tell all my friends who question my sleeping habits... too bad so sad I like sleeping on the couch sometimes!!!!!!"
So, I suppose the water was stress relieving in a way. It got me to have a real good laugh!
I would still like to know tho what did i ever do to peeve off water!
really now, first I almost drown in a pool a a ripe young age, and now i have had 3 experiences of my living room flood ( albeit this time only a little bit)
mmmm, Oh well. Que ser sera- whatever will be will be.
At least I have some relaxing water sounds in my living room
Anyways, i really must be going now. I really need to go pee again!
