Exciting but not exciting
I get the feeling that, when talking about, like, mythology and stuff, people are like, "The ancient people didn't understand how these phenomena worked, so they made up stories to explain it." After this week, I think it's more likely that they had an idea of how it worked, but that story was boring, so they made up more interesting ones.
Last Saturday morning, I walked into the bathroom and discovered a puddle of water on the floor. Our faucet is the kind where you lift the handle to turn the water on, and sometimes, when you lift that handle, water comes out from under the handle as well as from the actual faucet. And on rarer occasions, a lot of water comes out from the handle, and our sink isn't designed to direct all that water into the sink, so it goes onto the counter, and, like last Friday night, covers the counter and spills onto the floor.
The events are pretty exciting for our own personal lives, because suddenly a normal bathroom is covered in water. But the story the story itself is actually pretty bland and uninteresting. If I had the imagination to make up a better one, I might do that.
Anyway, we had maintenance come in today and fix it. Now we have a shiny new faucet. Again, very exciting for us, but not a great story.
Today I'm thankful for having a shiny new faucet, our very helpful maintenance team, not losing anything in the not-so-great flood, finishing our work for today, and actually managing to get an A+ in the Excite Bike challenge.
