I've had quite a bit going on the last couple of days - starting with allergy shots yesterday, followed by the v unpleasant discovery that the pipes froze in the house (shed? shack?) that I bought next door. I have temperature sensors over there that alerted me that the temp was 45 yesterday morning...which wasn't a shock since outside was -14. But unfortunately that wasn't warm enough to keep the pipes underneath the house from freezing, which is what I assume happened. There wasn't any visible damage inside, at least.
So I called the city water guy and he came and turned off the water at the curb, which is probably how it will stay until spring. Then I slogged relentlessly - my last meeting didn't end until almost seven, which was rough. And then I don't even remember what I did - definitely some cleaning, and maybe some journaling?
Today was more of the same - I slogged all day (with varying productivity) and then slacked off a little early to do house stuff. I have a full crew staying here this weekend, and then I'm leaving Sunday for California, so I have a million things to do.
At some point [censored] returned, and we chatted for a bit before [censored] couldn't bear it anymore and had to go check out the leak. I probably incited that, since I was playing some "Songs for Cats" station on the speaker, and the only way for [censored] to escape was to go to a different, worse house. Happily there was no further sign of damage after my inspection this morning, and the water appears to be shut off, so hopefully it can wait for warmer weather to be resolved.
And now I need to sleep - goodnight!
