Waterheaters and formal wear

We actually successfully got to the bat mitzvah this weekend. Had a very nice time, too. I had a really awesome dress, so that definitely contributed to the success of the venture.

Making the weekend somewhat less pleasant, however, were events immediately before and after said bat mitzvah. As we were about to walk out the door to catch a train (all packed, already wearing coats), we realized that there was a funny sound coming from the closet. Our water heater was leaking all over the floor. There were frantic calls to the landlord, and then more frantic calls on the walk to Penn Station. Turns out we needed to have the entire damn thing replaced. But it's in now, and there doesn't seem to have been any water damage, and we didn't have to pay for it. Just a little more stress than we needed to start the weekend with.

Also, something I ate last night didn't sit well with me at all. Was up at 4 this morning with a really bad stomachache. Things seem to have settled out again, but I've been kind of woozy and spacey all day. Bleh.
