and theres a puddle of water on the floor

Me: the puddle of water that's in the basement of this house has gotten larger in the last 2 days. It's now right next to the dryer. You should text or call the people who own this Airbnb to tell them this.

My mom: I don't think I need to do that.

Me: You are paying for this space. You're renting it with the expectation that is maintained appropriately. Stagnant pools of water in the basement is not appropriate.

My dad: I don't think we should bother them with this.

Me:

also tell them bc if they didnt see it before you got there and they see it after you leave theyre gonna think you did it

GOOD IDEA.

oh for fucjs sake A TORNADO WARNING

GO TO THE BASMENT WITH PUDDLE

that sure is a big cable

in the water

will your parents at least as for a refund if the house burns down

tornado Is South of us

is not cable, is tubes from disconnected water softener

ok well mom sent text about puddle now that theres a chance she might have to huddle in the basement

glad we found the line

warning is ended, no tornados this far north, dog is burrowed into my side on the bed

give dog kiss for me

is sleep on her bed finally

but when I go to bed

small kiss

kiss

the most kissable snoot

so it turns out that we lucked out, because the very worst the storm was to the west. but that's where my sister lives. and there are trees down all over that part of town and her power is out and could be out for days.
