Freezing rain and roof leaks

mood: worried
I got up around 6am. It has been raining...freezing rain...all night.

There are two leaks in our roof/ceiling at the moment. One is inconsequential, and we can just walk around it. I have paper towels on the floor.

The other is above the windows/windowsill right by the TV, cable modem, and other electronic equipment and my nice wooden record cabinet. I got the Wii out of there. It had splashes of water on it. I hope none got in it. We've got paper towels down, a 9x13 baking pan under the longer drip. Someone is supposed to come look at it today, but there's not much they can do until the ice is gone, which will probably be days from now.

I'm just glad I got up when I did, then happened to be walking right under the less-serious leak when it dripped. Talk about the timing of the universe!

I'm on my Eee in the bedroom, but I'm plugged in. I want to keep the Eee charged up.

Okay, back to finishing eating my breakfast.

We'll be careful. Me too, no more leaks. Right now it's snowing, so the temperature has dropped. Leaking has subsided a bit. But when things thaw in a few days--urgh!

Well, when it thaws in a few days, then the snow and ice up on the flat roof (we're on the top floor of our apt. building) will become a problem. I'm going to post a notice to people to watch for updates on my Twitter account, as we might have to disconnect everything over in that area, including the cable modem. I can post to Twitter from my cell phone.

I didn't know you're getting two hamsters? :-)
