Yesterday I noticed that something was dripping out of my ceiling in the bathroom and making my shower really dirty. I cleaned it out yesterday morning and this morning, hoping whatever the hell was leaking would just stop. This evening I went into my bathroom and discovered large puddles of ‘mud water’ in my shower. Lovely. I looked up and saw water droplets spewing out of the light fixture, that also has a functioning lighbulb in it. Woo … electrocution time! Anyways, since my landlord is in bed by 5 p.m. I decided I had better do something about this so I could shower tonight without being sprayed with mud. So I taped a grocery bag to the ceiling so it can collect the mud water. At least then my landlord will believe me and won’t accuse me of pooping in the shower. And while taping this bag to my ceiling, a dirty droplet went right into my eye! I immediately feared it was brown acid water that was going to blind me, but I realized it is probably just old rusty water … or sewage. Either way, good thing I got that tetanus shot less than a year ago. Hopefully I won’t wake up tomorrow and be a teenage mutant ninja turtle girl or anything.
On another note regarding my landlord … last time I paid my rent I asked him if he could come replace the fluorescent lights in my kitchen / living-room because they are completely dead and I have no light. He told me that he wasn’t going to replace lights and that there should be extra lights here. Asshole. I’m a short girl that doesn’t know how to replace long fluorescent bulbs. There are some in my back room but I have no idea if they work or if they are burned out. I wanted to cry. I have nobody to help me do this kind of stuff, mean old man. So anyways, I’ve been living in the dark for a month. I hate it here.
