speedbump

so i would consider today to be one of those days that makes or breaks you. i got out of bed this morning to walk to the bathroom (through the hallway pictured below) to find a puddle of water in my apartment. the water had leaked from the upstairs down to me and had inundated one side of my apartment. i had water in the hallway, and subsequently in all of my shoes lined against the wall, and also in the bathroom. i won't go into details about how the issue isn't getting resolved or that my landlord thought it more important to question me about unpaid bills than to offer to help me clean up the giant mess. i used my electric heater to dry the swampy area and now i have every shoe that i own sitting on various radiators around my house to dry out. some of them have a really musky smell. thank goodness i was here to catch the water when i did. and luckily i have a support system that helped me get through a really frustrating experience. very much looking forward to tomorrow :)

the lake that was in my hallway 

the sources of the issue

water coming down awfully close to my fuse box...not really liking that

oh no! not the new sneaks :'(

so there was water in all of my shoes. it was a nasty yellow color.
