Into the Void

stonepicnicking_okapiThe sky is falling. Again.
I woke up at 3:30 am to the sound of dripping. And, yes, water was pouring into the apartment from the ceiling (in a spot about 4 feet from where the ceiling caved in three weeks ago).
At 5 pm (after an online request, a visit to the building office, and two phone calls), the maintenance decided to show up.
The upstairs apartment is vacant (?!) and the hot water tank burst. The water was turned off but the tank won't be replaced until next week (I'll believe it when I see it). Their tank, not ours, but that means residual dripping for a long time.
I've got a full-fledged auditory trigger now with the dripping. Add that to the sound of chainsaws.
And I'm getting some kind of tendonitis (pain in my inner left elbow and down to the hand, golfer's elbow) from taking care of client #1. It's a lot of tugging and pulling and yanking because of he's bed-bound and unable to move much.
But I made it through the first full week of work. And Minisculus passed to the next level of swimming so those are two good things.
