Water emergency

My mom is coming Tuesday, and our shower broke. It has had a little drip for a while, but I came home from work to a steady flow. We went to my favorite store, Home Depot, and bought some new parts and crossed our fingers. The problem appears to be greater than us. Who knows how old the parts are? The last time Mom came, our toilet broke days before. We were joking about having her and John hose off in the backyard or come to the Y to take showers. The last time we were joking about dumping a half gallon of water to flush or going out back. The last time our landlady was out of town, as today. So I sense a pattern. I hope they do not have this effect on the house we buy.

On another note, my arm broke out in a rash Thurs. night. I went to the doctor for it yesterday, and he made fun of me. He walked in and asked me if I was Scottish (in reference to a red plaid headband I was wearing). What the hell?
