The B-word

[rowyn]

Sometime yesterday, the sump pump stopped working. Not sure what happened to it; power appears fine, float's not stuck. (I even tried plugging the pump in directly, bypassing the float -- no luck). Looks like the motor just burned itself out.

So, there's a couple of inches of water in my basement now. And, presumably, rising, since the pump's still not working. I left a message for my plumber, who will hopefully call back soonish.

After verifying that the pump wasn't working and that I couldn't fix it, I started walking to work. About halfway there ... it started to rain.

But, you know, all things considered: my life is pretty good. :)

Clearly, this is nature's way of telling you that you need to start keeping fish.

I'm glad to hear that life in general is good, whatever might be happening in the depths.

And that LJ user icon you attached is just adorable too! That's gotta be a plus, right?

G'luck getting the thing fixed!
