This is turning into a "dumb maintenance emergencies" weekend.
Yesterday, I tried to air up my tires, to find that the valve stem on one of them was broken. It took the shop longer than expected to fix it - and I had to fix it, because I had to air up that tire to be able to drive around. I got back home to discover that water is dripping down into my bathroom from the vent on the ceiling.
From past experience, I know that it's probably a bad AC coil. But while it's not exactly a flood, it is a pretty steady drip which requires receptacles beneath it, because it's coming down pretty fast.
I know it's not a super huge deal in the grand scheme of things. But I will probably have to stay in today order to get this addressed. Added is the OCD-related stress from "unknown, possible contaminated water is dripping down into my clean bathroom, with who knows what nicotine sludge from previous occupants/germs/mold." Regardless, there go my plans for today. :(
