Well, this morning was a clusterfuck of a fiasco if I've ever had one. I'm wondering how to put it into my exercise log.
This morning, I woke up and made a cuppa. It was cold last night.. but we kept the heat on and thought all would be well. And our pipes didn't burst, because our apartment was warm.
However.. our apartment has a sprinkler system which is housed in a storage closet outside, and those pipes? They burst. A lot. We heard a groan in the ceiling and then a splash, and that splash was the beginnings of a Niagara Falls in the kitchen and living room. Water flooded--gushed--from the light fixtures and the sprinkler ducts. In a matter of minutes, we had a solid inch of water on the floor and started throwing towels on the major puddles to try and sop it up. A few five-gallon buckets were on hand, and they filled up several times over. PS it's hard to lift a five-gallon bucket of water high enough to dump it in the sink.
In the end, we had about three inches of standing water in the kitchen, and some in the living room. My parents came over with extra towels and a shop vac, and the water seems to be gone except for a drip coming from the main light fixture in the kitchen. The carpet man came to dry things up, and they are going to do a "moisture test" later to see if the walls are soaked deep inside.
But good god, I'm tired and sore and just want to take a shower. My kitchen ceiling rained on me today. And I don't have control over the sprinkler pipes - my heat doesn't reach out there. Oy. Seems like I'm low-balling it to call it "housework" on my exercise log.

If you were on your hands and knees a lot sopping up water, I would call it gardening. I do not think there is a gardening choice but you can put it in as other. There is a good calorie calculate here http://www.healthdiscovery.net/links/calculators/calorie_calculator.htm that has categories that fatsecret does not have.

Thank you for the suggestion!
And Kaity - yes. It was horrible. I never expected gushing, torrential downpour in my kitchen. AND IT GOT ON MY MAC. Obviously it works ok, since I'm online now, but..

there is a gardening option for exercise, but lordy lordy, not a fun way to spend your day. Did any of your furnishings get ruined? Bless your heart

oh and the lifting the buckets, lol count it as weight lifting!

Holy freaking crap. That's nuts! Is the apt complex doing anything about it? That's insane. That's... wow.

Yeah, the complex has actually been really great about it. Apparently it happened in a handful of the units, we just lucked out to be the ones with a flood. We're not responsible for anything (yay!) and really, nothing got permanently ruined. It all just needs to dry out a bit.

OH, that's AWFUL. And I agree with kmax: lifting those buckets should be weightlifting!

But wait, there's more! They just came to turn our water back on, and the leak exploded again. FML.

Yeah, today blows! This cold weather that Texans can't handle needs to pass so we can get back to normal life. Keep your fingers crossed that they don't need to rip out our cabinets after they do a moisture test. And really, Linds, I wouldn't be concerned about how to enter your exercise today - there are way more important things going on! I declared today a day that doesn't count on my journal.

Oh you two, I'm sorry, that is suckage to the max. I think mlle's right...today should be a FREE day!
