Because I needed something ELSE to deal with.

Went to check the basement to see if Onyx(?) was hiding in the duct there, since he hasn't surfaced for a few hours.

Found the output valve on the water heater loose and about a quarter inch of standing water in the basement. God dammit.

Toweled up as much as I could, put fans down to dry out the rest, really didn't need this tonight.

Have I mentioned I hate the holiday season?
