bathroom problems

so for the past week i've had one problem after another with my bathroom.
first, the boiler stopped working (again, again, again)
then the sink wouldn't stop running.
but last night was the worst.
at like 11pm i decided to wash some clothes.
after i was done i went to shut the water to the shower off, but it kept running.
not like a drip drip, but like full force, completely on, running.
my neighbors were asleep, i had no idea what to do at 11pm.
anyway, so i called my friend in sofia for advice. he offered a few suggestions, such as try turning it off really reallly hard. ummm thanks vangel, already tried that.
so he said he would think of something and call me back in a minute.
well, within the minute i had a knock on my door.
he had called his cousins in zlataritsa and immediately they came over to try to help.
they were able to shut the main water to my apartment off which at least stoped the water from flooding my bathroom for the night.
awwww... what a sweet friend i have.

anyway, so this morning i kind of wanted to take a shower, and wash my dishes, or maybe just drink some water, so i had to have the main water turned back on for that.
so i went to see the maintence people, my friends.
anyway, nicoli wasn't there.
walking back the mayors chauffer saw me and invited me for coffee.
no time i said, i need to find nicoli because i have serious problems with my water.
no problem he said. he took me up to the assistant mayor who located nicoli and had him go immediately to my apartment.

so things are fixed. for now.
there are definitely some good people around here.
i wish nicoli wasn't diabetic, or else i'd make him cookies.
i used to, and he used to eat them. it wasn't till months later that i found out from someone else he was diabetic and ate my sweets because he was my friend and didn't want to make me feel bad.
umm, it's one thing to eat my cookies if you just don't like them and don't want me to feel bad. it's another to eat them when you are diabetic and they could kill you.
so anway, i had my mom send over some splenda to give to him so he could have sugar in his coffee in the morning.
this is a bunch of rambling.
anyway, to make a long story short, i love my friend in sofia and the maintence people in my town are the best.

happy friday everyone.
