So, to top off the "paint situation" and the broken washer...the water line to my freezer decided to malfunction while I was in Canadia. Luckily this was one of the times I had a friend come by to check on the kitties, because she arrived to my house on Sunday FULL OF WATER. Even more luckily was that I left my mom's cell since I'd be on "international" coverage. My parents acted as all good psuedo-landlords should do and called their man Rich, who came over to fix the problem. I really owe Jessica! Conveniently, she is going out of town in a few weeks so I get to kitty/house sit for 10 days for her.
Come to find out though, I think while they were working to turn the water on/off, the water heater pilot light went out so I was out of hot water. After reading the instructions on how to re-light it, which involved statements like "Warning! Death possible!" I had the 'rents call their man Rich again, who not only re-lighted the water heater, but also flushed it to rid it of that crazy Denver water sediment. Seriously peeps, if you need "rent-a-husband" type work done around the house, let me give you Rich's phone number.
The funniest part about finding out about the mini flood in the house was that my mom sent me a message on Facebook, my dad sent me an email, and my sister was providing updates via direct tweets on Twitter. They definitely used all forms of digital technology to get the info to me, I just got them all hours after they sent them when I found Wifi in Dauphin.
Thanks to everyone who helped me and my house out, let us hope we're done for a while.
