I suspect the tenant ran water for the bathtub and got distracted. The tick, tick of water hitting the ceiling tiles got more intense and I was about to run upstairs and bang on the door when I heard footsteps running and the water shut off. About 30 seconds later a big splash of water came through the tiles and dumped all over the floor. Good thing I had moved or I would have gotten a shower I didn't need. I mopped the floor quickly and called the owners. Then I had to take my shoes off and finish up in stocking feet because the wet tile is SUPER slippery - like walking on ice. Fortunately it was only about a bucket or two's worth of water that fell through but it did take me about a half hour longer to clean up. I got home, DH had made some meatballs and Italian sausage in the crockpot with a batch of the fresh tomatoes I roasted earlier this summer with onions and garlic and froze. He added some bell peppers - red and green. We had sandwiches - tonight will be spaghetti. I was really tired afterwards and decided to go to sleep at 9pm - odd for me. Didn't really sleep that well even after going to bed early. Today I have laundry to do and some grocery shopping - hoping to convince DH to come with me although he is tired and feeling poorly with the change in weather. 
I had to smile at the commotion with the mail - my Mom is having a FIT because we opted to forward her mail to my sister's while she was visiting us and of course it's screwed up and they are still not delivering it properly (turns out it was the fault of her ditzy mailman, not my poor sister). I see my Mom's reaction to things and multiply it by 100 and think "that's Mel's life". I can't hug you enough... I have laugh - DH has about 3 feet of closet space - everything else is MINE. Oh wait - I did give him the hanging space in the guitar room but the floor space is about 50/50 his stuff and mine. 
Of course Sassy runs the house - why would you think differently? That's why they melt your heart so that you don't notice them taking over 
if you know what I mean. The cake roll sounds delish - I'd just be scared of trying to roll the thing I hear you on the fund raiser. We had one of those too - it was put together by the wives of the upper management and we figured out after a while that they were the ones who bid on the stuff because it was either too high end (sky box at the local sporting arena for $3500) or it was junk the regular folk just weren't interested in. They definitely could have made more money if they appealed to a wider audience. I could use a bit of your mindset to get rid of stuff I don't need any more. Actually right now my hobby room is staged with stuff that I need to sell or give away. I don't think a Craig's list works as well up this way so I will probably wait until the summer folk return and do a garage sale. I did notice one of the local radio stations has a swap shop where you can advertise some of the bigger things - need to check into that. As for work, I'm not sure what's going to happen. My coworker is leaving for college in January. There's not going to be much business at all between January and April except for one or two events. Business is dependent on snowmobilers so if we don't get snow, I don't see her opening the store much. I think she likes the fact that with us available, it frees her to be able to do some personal things herself - it's just soooo boring sitting there with nothing to do. We'll see. And there certainly won't be anything in the way of other jobs available here until summer season - lots of places close up for the winter. I'd rather sit at home when it's snowy out anyway Have you started reading Dolores Claiborne yet? 
THANKS FOR THE HUGS
