Rude Awakening

Well isn't this positively marvelous. Here I am, lying in bed for the night, minding my own business when Daniel says something. I pull out an earplug, and he repeats that he heard something. It was a hissing sound, similar to the fan on my old laptop. So of course I'm like, yeah, it's just my computer. But it sounded too loud, and when I got close my computer was silent. Obviously my adrenalin had kicked in before I even got up. I walked towards the garage, and it was coming from there.

My first though was, dang it, we've got dangerous fumes leaking from pipes or something, and the house could set fire or something. So I'm like, Daniel we need to get upstairs and tell Mamma and Daddy, NOW. (Apparently I react fairly calmly in such situations; I'm quite proud of myself). We raced upstairs, I explained the situation, and Daddy and I raced back down to the garage.

DANG. There's water piling up by the door, and an unknown pip is hissing water loudly. Daddy raced over, while I open the garage door. The water goes pouring out towards the drain, and continues to constantly pour down the driveway. The pip is spitting water everywhere, so we grabbed a flashlight and ran out to this... darn, I forgot what it's called, but we opened up this concrete hole, trying to shut off our water. But that dang this is too darn complicated. We ended up calling 911, asking for assistance. Other than the fact that water was gushing from our house, it was kind of exciting when the fire truck arrived. 'Course we woke up a few people around the neighborhood, and it's gonna cost a small fortune to hire a plumber to fix the damage. What's even worse is we now have no water. No shower, no toilet, sink, drinking water; zilch. Let's just say we're in for quite an interesting time. I don't think we'll be going to the theater to see Big Hero 6 tomorrow.

In conclusion: we are fine, we are alive, but we are without water. Who knows how long we'll last. A few days at most. :P Kidding, we'll find a way.
