So, there I am...at work...10 minutes until Monday was over...and i get a call from the rental company. There was water leaking into my downstairs neighbor's apartment. Mom was home so I had them call her and then she got things moved (like the cat) before the plumber came to scope things out. He came, took a look, and determined the problem...a pipe for the bathroom sink was in bad shape. This was after 5, so we were told not to use the sink and he would be back in the morning to deal with it.

Stress and strangers aren't the easiest to deal with in my household, so I offered to take today off to help (and by help, I got to be a calming influence...and sit in a closed room with the cat, keep her from scratching at the door, and make sure she doesn't get out and do things...like draw blood (she's our guard kitty)...plus, she's starting to show her age (14) and we didn't want her to get stressed out).

Well, the plumber came and had to perform surgery on our dining room wall...

And THEN he got another call to come back...turned out that the pipes UNDER our sink also had issues...like rotting almost to burst...and things were all wet.

So, between 2 chunks of time in a room with non cross stitch compatible lighting, I got to sit in my stitchy chair with sunlight...and finished page 4 of Pyraplex!

Hopefully that's all of the excitement for the week!

I'm sorry to hear about your plumbing problems. I live in a 60 year-old apartment, so we've had our fair share of plumbing issues and know how stressful and annoying it can be (though at least we don't have to worry about septic tank problems, had those and they sucked). I don't have a guard kitty though, just a couple of scaredy-cats. If I don't have my door very securely shut and someone comes to our front door, one of my cats will actually kick the door in and then run and hide in my closet or under my bed.

Your Pharaoh? is coming along nicely. It's too bad you didn't have enough light to stitch while having to watch over your kitty though. She could have 'helped' like mine do :grin:

Thanks!!! I'm really hoping to have it done by the end of the month...we'll see how that goes :P

That picture is purrfect!!! :nod

We had some friends from our congregation come over and tape up plastic over the hole...and they always do a great job with things like that (the dad does a lot of stuff around their house and on their cars and has insisted that all of the kids learn, too...and they don't do shabby jobs!)

Pyraplex is looking great! Hope the plumbing gets fixed quickly.

Aww, what a helpful kitty! My kitties like to pick up my threads and walk off with them if I'm not paying attention to them.
