fuckola

so

I was doing some laundry tonight
or
more accurately
I put some laundry in and went to bed

when
I woke up a few minutes ago
I swung into the kitchen
to grab something to drink

and I heard water noise

at first I blew it off
thinking it was just rain or something outside

then I suppose as my mind became more conscious
alarm bells went off

I went downstairs
and discovered that
one of my cats
(and I know which one)
had
knocked the drain tube
for the washing machine loose
and
said machine has been dumping water
onto the floor for the past hour or two

I've got a company coming by
in about an hour and a half
to give me an estimate
as to how much it will cost to clean up

and
it sounds like it will be expensive

the estimate alone is a couple hundred bucks

sigh

oh well
it could be worse

the estimate

came in at

~5 grand

give or take a grand

there goes my drinking budget
for this weekend.

sigh

they are downstairs sucking up the water
and it will take 3-5 days to dry it out

happy happy joy joy

and that cat

is very close to becoming

slippers
