This is going to drive me crazy. Who can focus on there Bible with noise like this in the background? "Drip"
Reluctantly, I put my Bible down and got up to search for this "drip". I thought this it was coming from something in Jon's backpack. Instead I was able to determine that this drip was instead coming from our ceiling!
There was a wet spot in the carpet where this drip had been making it's mark for a while. Disoriented from just waking up, I stood there wondering what I should do. "Why do things like this always happen when Jon is gone?", I wondered. Just as a personal side note, I believe that these things happen while Jon is gone, so that I will learn to depend on God in all things.
Slowly I made my way to the laundry closet to pull out a bucket and some rags. I put the bucket on a chair, so that I would be able to wipe up the water spot on the floor.
I went back to my room to read my Bible and prayed that the constant drip, drip, drop would not drive me crazy. Even as I write it is distracting, but oh well there is no sense in getting upset about this.
Look at all the water I have collected so far!
I called our maintenance office and I am sure they will fix this as soon as possible. I keep singing the song, "There's a hole in my bucket dear Liza..." Only in my case, there is not a hole in my bucket, but my ceiling.

I'm so glad you have maintenace to deal with the problem and that you don't have to do it yourself! Years ago when I was a renter, I woke up one morning to a loud crash. What had been a leak in our bathroom that I had complained about many times had finally come crashing down...the entire ceiling. Yep, 15 minutes before I was supposed to get up and would have been in that very bathroom getting ready. It was a disaster.
Stay on em until they get it fixed...that's my advice!
Be blessed and have a great day...despite the dripping.
Kimberlynn - Oh my goodness! I am so glad that you were not already in the bathroom. I will stay on them so nothing like that happens!
