I'm not really sure what it is about the past couple days, but while I've been sleeping it hasn't been really restful sleep at all. I woke up this morning basically stumbling around in a zombie-like state. I'm still sorta stumbling around actually. Blargh.

Not sure if I mentioned it on the blog here or not (I did on my twitter feed…hard to keep track of what I've mentioned where these days) but at the apartment we've been having a bit of an issue with a leaking roof in the living room. Which is a little concerning when you realize that the living room is on the second floor of 3. As near as we can tell the rain (when it gets really heavy) is coming off the roof, hitting the air conditioner that's upstairs and when it gets too much for it to run off normally, it'll run back into the wall, down through and pool on the ceiling in the living room, causing it to leak pretty decently.
Added to that we've now got a problem with the oven. Over the weekend when roasting a chicken, Wassy noticed that the heating element inside the oven had a bit that was glowing bright white and buzzing (like, electrical current buzzing). Looks like something melted off the protective coating and now we've got exposed electrical elements down there. So needless to say, we're not using the oven until we get it replaced. 
The replacement bit is the stressful part though. When you can get a maintenance guy out to look at it, they tend to fix things pretty quickly. But the problem is getting them out… The leak issue has been happening ever since Thursday of last week and the only assurances we got was that they were going to put gutters on the building sometime this week. Thanks guys. Real helpful. Hopefully we get somebody out soon.
I really like the apartment, but it's in an older building so there's definitely going to be some issues with the appliances and stuff. I just wish they'd be a little more prompt with the fixing things bit…
