I'm not really one for celebrating holidays but my mom likes to get together and it's the least I could do to make her happy.
Even if I don't celebrate, I'll happily spend time with family.
Damned right!
I got my water leak fixed. I accomplished something productive on a holiday!
You do better than I'd do.
I'd have shut the water off to the zone (I have a bunch of off valves for just this sort of reason - if it can be isolated, it is isolated - it's a joy from having the house built new) and called the plumber. I'd have paid 'em extra to come out on the holiday.
I would not have fixed it myself.
It's a pretty firm rule. I don't work on plumbing. I'll help put new plumbing into a new house, but I won't work on it after that. Fuck no... I hate plumbing.
