Catastrophi

Wah Gwon Mon!

I'm at home today, waiting on the Tile crew to arrive for the second day in a row. Last Monday I got my clothes washer back from the shop but hadn't really used it since then. Saturday morning at about 06:30, I put a load in the washer and went to my kitchen to make a pot of coffee and fix breakfast. I ate in the kitchen then did the dishes, as I was standing at the sink, it dawned on me that the water was still running in the washing machine. I went into the living room to get to the washer and stepped into about two inches of water. The washer hadn't progressed through its cycles and was stuck in the fill cycle. The water overflowed the top of the tub and flooded the front part of my apartment. Then as I was squeegeeing out the water the tiles, all but maybe twenty, popped and buckled. So I been here for two days so the Tile crew could finish the repair job. Of course as is usual here in Jamaica, they were supposed to be here at 08:00, its now 09:18 and they are still not here. I hope this isn't a sign how the rest of my day is going to go.

For those interested I will post the next installment in a couple of days. Enjoy. Latah, Mon.
