As most Americans know, winter storm Janus just rolled through. Not wanting to be easily forgotten, that lovely lady froze my outside pipe solid...and then had it burst. We were already having a rough week, since our nanny's car broke down and she hasn't been able to get to work to watch Ryker and Mackenzie. Thursday morning, I went to work to put in leave paperwork so that I could stay home with the baby until Elizabeth gets stuff sorted out. I was literally gone for an hour and a half, maybe two hours. We made coffee that morning, our pipes were fine. We dripped the faucets all night into pots so that they wouldn't freeze, and the water wouldn't be wasted. But oh no, Janus was determined, and attacked the hose spigot on the other side of my kitchen sink. Excuse my language...but what a bitch!
My floors, cabinets and countertop are all on the chopping block. Luckily, ServPro was able to locate the bust in the wall and we were able to shut a valve that let us have water again. Twenty four hours of no flushing toilets and camping in my house was enough! We drowned our drowned-house sorrows in Red Lobster biscuits and tall boy Blue Moon's yesterday, Ryler was jealous. Don't judge!
The #amileaday challenge is still on, of course, so I used my frustration to fuel some runs. I also used CrossFit Rife as a run starting and end point so that I could shower there and fill up some water bottles! Everyone at the gym has been great, offering their homes and their help. Reason #6325883 I love CrossFit Rife!
Day Three, a chilly 5k.
Day Four: Creepy, beautiful two miles behind the airport by Rife.
Day Five: 27 degree 5k, I was actually too warm in a vest and hat!
Day Six: A post hangover, late night treadmill mile. No more, no less!
The Serv Pro manager and the plumber finally got out here. Serv Pro was like "oh yeah, ALL of your floors are coming out, you can try and find the same ones or pick out new ones." Yesssss. We'll see what happens with the rest of the kitchen, the contractor comes tomorrow to see what the damage is. Luckily, the plumber finally got here and the leak was definitely caused by the weather so USAA will cover the cost to fix it. That's extra awesome, if it was because of anything but an Act of God, we'd be responsible for the $1200 bill. Yikes.
The snow is almost melted and the streets are pretty much clear of ice. Today is looking pretty beautiful so the run should be nice! We're making our weekly Whole Foods trip today, I'm pretty excited to load up on fruit, we've been out for a few days and it's killing me!
