Leakage.

If you have a mop and a few minutes, would you mind helping me to gather all the water that is currently invading my basement? Cos my gas water heater is leaking like mad, and the technician will be here anytime, hopefully before 3pm, so they said. It's 11:22 right now. I am NOT doing the maths to figure out how much more water there will be in my basement by the time the technician arrives. (Am just joking: have turned off water altogether, of course. Mom is dishevelled, shower-less and cranky. I'm just cranky.)

OK, so every cloud has a silver lining, even when it's pouring rain. The good thing is, all the spiders are going to drown. *grabs mop and goes to work*

*grabs mop and pitches in, glad to help*

*stops to wonder how one mops without water*

*realizes lack of water is, at this point, not a problem*

*stops for coffee break as mental clarity is obviously not up to par just yet*

is plenty of water already around, don't worry. Just wait until all the spiders are drowned...

Actually, spiders can last for days under water and still be fine...

and THAT was almost the worst piece of news of the day. Right up there with "no hot water today".

Awww. Maybe only some kinds of spiders (like the ones that live in our pool) can.
