Monday was wonderful. Ben surprised me with roses and chocolates. We went out for a delicious Valentines Day lunch downtown. After class we made a romantic dinner. I made a delicious salad with goat cheese and candied walnuts while Ben cooked up some tilapia. We ate and drank wine and cuddled in the beanbag before falling asleep in a heap of limbs in my bed.
Then apparently the universe decided we'd gotten off too easy, and yesterday the washing machine started leaking. I called the office and one of the guys came over and looked at it, determined it needed a new hose and he could do nothing about it, and left. We put down some towels, but the hallway was already starting to resemble a swamp. We went to class, I lost my wallet then found it again, and by the time we got home the water had spread from the entryway to my bedroom. We put down all the towels we could find, and even Ben's bathrobe, but they did little to stop the flood. We went to sleep but set an alarm for 9 so we could call the office as soon as they opened.
This morning we called and Candice came over. She turned off the water flow and informed us that we should have called the emergency number (which I didn't have). Forty five minutes later, a guy showed up and vacuumed up the water. So at least my hallway is dry-ish now, and nothing got damaged, but I'm still waiting on the guy to come fix the washer, and I have a lot of dirty clothes sitting on my bedroom floor. And I can't leave my house. And I have a physics test tomorrow. Ugh.
