My chemo-costume got wet

When we woke up this morning, the house was abnormally cold, so I threw on my chemo-costume and headed to the basement to check the furnace. The furnace had gotten itself stuck in some weird pre-startup cycle so I restarted it, gave it a kick, and it was humming away again. All good. 

Unfortunately, on my way out of the furnace room, I bumped into a jerry-rigged clamp system that I had put on a pipe about a year ago to stop a leak.  Bumping into it was enough to knock it off, and I quickly discovered that what had been a leak a year ago was now a hole, and a geyser of cold water was spraying out - all over my chemo-costume!

With Mathilde's help, and after several wet and stressful minutes, we managed to jerry-rig the clamp again - so the leak is patched. I actually think it's good enough to last another year, but for some reason Mathilde felt the need to call the plumber. The plumber is on his way, my chemo suit is drying, and I am trying to adjust to the scratchiness of this sweater.
