Adventures in City Living- perhaps not for the faint of heart

[arrowwhiskers]

So I went in to take a shower this lovely evening and realized that the water level in my toilet seemed abnormally high. Not dangerously high, just...high, so I decided to flush it and see if it would recalibrate itself. Yeah, I know, brilliant move. The water didn't go down at ALL, and so all the new water filled and spilled out on the floor.

I am so brilliant.

It was around then that it occurred to me that the maintenance service hours are most definitely over, and that I don't actually own anything like a plunger or a mop or...anything else that might potentially be useful in dealing with this type of situation. I have a grand total of one towel that I don't particularly feel like subjecting to mopping up toilet water. What I do have, however, were some extras in a pack of dish sponges that I bought...and so that served well enough. Yeah, ew, I know. At least the water at least had the illusion of being mostly clean...not really comforting, but illusion is the key and important word right now.

There's still a bunch of water behind the toilet that I didn't feel like reaching, and I think it's just going to have to chill there and mold up if it wants to because I am so unbelievably over it for tonight. Tomorrow will have to be another Target day.

I think this is a good sign that I should have gone to bed an hour ago. Not exactly what you'd hope for from the night before classes start, but really, what can you do.

Oh, damn, that sounds both frustrating and kind of gross. Hopefully it's an inconvenience, not an omen ♥ (I had something very similar happen to me in my first apartment...maybe it's just a rite of passage.)

Ew. That sucks.
