Well, that was anti-climactic! Actually, let me rephrase: that was probably the smoothest result I could have hoped for from tonight's bathroom visit. They came. They looked. No one carped at me for everything not being perfect or me not recognizing the problem at some imagined earlier, more convenient point in time. Repairs will be scheduled and they'll be in touch. I'm already browsing possible AirBNBs, anticipating that my bathroom may be completely unusable for a couple of days during the work.
Until that time, I am prepared to sit tight. I'm peeing in there but not flushing, as per (my interpretation of) previous instruction. I can continue to conduct other business offsite.... Huh, actually, if this situation isn't resolved by a week from today when my period is due, I may get an AirBNB at that time anyway. I know the downstairs neighbors asked for this to be remedied as soon as humanly possible, so I don't think this will drag on for too long.
I barely ate today and my knee was screaming at me for most of the afternoon, so I'm going to grab some dinner and then I think I'll ice my knee while I eat in front of the TV! I have some frozen green beans that I'm willing to sacrifice to the cause.
In other news, my backordered winter coat finally arrived this week, so it's going to reach the mid-50s tomorrow. You're welcome, southeast Wisconsin!
