My original plans for the day were to write about getting my nails done and having dinner with Vicki. Well, things changed, as Vicki was a little under the weather and I got up too late to do much of anything other than going to the buffet for dinner. And yet, I have something crappy to write about.

Years ago, water from my apartment caused a problem in the apartment below me. I'm not sure of whose insurance paid for the repairs, but I know I didn't put in a claim on my insurance. On New Year's Eve, RQS took a bath, and the water overflow caused damage to the bathroom ceiling occupied by my new neighbors. Luckily, that problem was caused by pipes within the walls, and the co-op's insurance paid the bill. Unfortunately, a toilet bowl overflow happened tonight, and I'm not sure of the status of the apartment below me.
When I got home from dinner, I proceeded to the loo to take care of a pressing matter. (No need to be more graphic here.) Well, the flush didn't get everything through the pipes, and I tried to plunge the toilet. Unfortunately, after a second flush, waste water got all over the bathroom floor, and it took several towels to absorb all the liquid. (You can guess I'll be the first to do laundry in the morning.) And this got me to thinking - did any of the waste water get through to the ceiling below me? I'd hate to pay for any damages, as well as filing an insurance claim for the damages caused by the overflow.
I figure that I'll tough base with my neighbors in the morning, just to see what's up. Hopefully, they won't be too upset with me if there is a problem. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
