The Last Week of 2008

Well this is how my last week of 2008 went. On Sunday I was going to change the sheets on the waterbed. When I started to pull the sheets off the bed I noticed water stains on the sheets so I decided to wait to change the sheets because I really didn’t want to deal with this right now.

Monday I went to work and after work I took my mother to the grocery store. When we got back to her house we found my son (who lives with my mother) at the top of the stairs telling us that the power is out. Thinking that the power would only be off for a few hours we put mom’s grocery away and started a fire in the fireplace. Then I went home.

When I got home I thought I should find out if the waterbed was leaking. When I went to pull back the mattress back to see if I could find the leak I found a 4 inch crack in the mattress. And when I pulled the mattress back the crack open and water was going everywhere. As some of you know I live alone so I had no one to help me. I run to get some towels, by time I got back I had a mess. Maybe I should have got the video camera so I could send the tape to Funnies Home Video. Well I had this exercise bean so I pulled the mattress back so I could wedge the bean between the frame and the mattress. Then I clean up some or the water and then I went to get the hose and the draining tools. After trying for an hour or so I gave up and went to call my son for help. He came over but for some reason we just couldn’t get the bed to drain. So we had the bean in place so the bed wasn’t leaking anymore so we decided to wait till tomorrow (Tuesday) to figure this out.
