Here comes the flood
Here we are, a week from when Leah and I move from the condo into a nicer, larger condo, and we are flooded (again). Water was everywhere when I woke up this morning: almost lapping at the chairs at my dining table, venturing into the hallway by the kitchen, covering my bathroom, and soaking anything in its path in my sister's room. She has gotten ahead packing and one of her boxes of books was damaged (luckily the books seem okay).
The biggest loss: one of the presents she'd gotten for my birthday later this month. The gift bag was sitting on the floor (in the flood-plain, apparently), and half the book was soaked. The tissue paper had dyed the book red, also. All this ruination before she even gave it to me!!
Waaa.
Needless to say, we can't wait to get out of this place. It may be a very good thing our new landlord wants to move in so soon.
