Have an appointment with the gyn next month. Lately it seems that I spent about 10 days of my cycle in a depression that seems to get darker and deeper with each cycle and since my cycles are about 26 days long, I've decided that I'm depressed way too much.

This isn't like my depression from 2 years ago, I think this is pretty well related to my period.

Went to the apt office this morning to tell them that my dishwasher was leaking and that the upstairs neighbors have had their music blasting way too loud way too late in the night for the last 2 weeks. Last night it was so loud I could feel the vibration in my chest. The walls were vibrating and the light fixture in the bedroom was rattling. It is 8.40p now and quiet so far.

Raining softly right now. Some thunder with up and down tornados between here and Lawton. We need the rain.

I figured that the problem with my dishwasher was just a simple gasket that needed to be replaced. I didn't bother calling the office this afternoon to see what the problem was and there wasn't a note telling me not to use it. So I started a load. Well, at the start of the rince cycle I noticed a bit of water on the floor. Before a handful of paper towels cleaned up the puddle just fine. But the puddle was bigger tonight and I got the mop.

At first I thought I had it under control. After squeezing out the mop a few times I realized that I wouldn't be able to keep up, so I turned off the dishwasher and looked inside. The whole bottom was filled with water and it preceded to drain out onto the floor. I squeezed about a gallon and a half of water into a bucket, not counting the towels I squeezed out in the sink. I paged maintance and asked "The dishwasher isn't fixed, is it?" Dumb question, huh? He said no, that something was wrong with it and he had to take something out. He said he'd figure I'd call the office and I said I figured a note would be left on the door. We had a good laugh and he said I could use the washer, it wouldn't hurt anything. Well, I did use the washer and now my back hurts from mopping up. He said I may get a new one if the spare he has in storage is useable.
