OK… if you’ve read our blog for any length of time, you know our house leaks when it rains.  I mean, what do you expect for a free house?  And if you are in a wet area of the U.S., you can assume our state is much like yours – it seems to be raining every couple of days.   I’ll shorten this up with a simple weather related, “Blah, blah, blah.”

Anyway, we had another storm system roll through Minnesota last night and early this morning.  Well, actually, it’s still raining… but I digress.  Whenever a new weather system arrives, the barometric pressure either rises or falls.  When it falls fast, our home weather station alarms.  And at 4:30 AM, it went off.  Since the station monitor is in the living room, I got up to shut it off – it’s very, VERY annoying.

On my way back to bed,  I decided it was as good of time as any to take care of my bladder related bathroom needs.  Thinking I would get a little shut-eye yet this morning, I opted to keep the lights off in the bathroom.  No… I did not choose to stand while I relieved myself – I sat.  When one sits, even in the dark, you can tell if you’re hitting your mark.  If one stands… not so much.  As I’m “tinkling”, I feel water.  In my slumbered state, I quickly shut off the water-works, thinking that I was doing something really wrong.  well, I wasn’t.  It turns out I was the first to discover a leak in the bathroom ceiling, directly above the toilet.  I was getting rained on.    Simply wonderful.  When I finished, I went back to bed.

An hour or so later, after Carol got up for the morning, she announced to me that we have a leaky ceiling/fart fan in the bathroom.  She mentioned how she thought someone must have gotten up during the night and ‘pee’d’ on the toilet seat and bathroom floor.  I know she assumed it was me who hosed down the bathroom for her.  I can say with certain, that the seat and floor was not pee’d on.  :no-no:   I told her I was aware of the leak, rolled over and tried to get some more sleep.
