wah!
My LJ AWOL-ness aside, it's time for a lovely vent. I am currently listening to the sounds of massive amounts of water being pumped from my basement. Mom and dad are both out of town so I get to deal with two rather flirty flood service workers. Not that they're not nice and working hard, but I'm really having a hard time dealing with this. Last time I was involved with flooding, major health concerns put me and a whole group of high school kids under a quaranteen and the fact that the water is not going down, but infact coming up, I'm freaking out just a little.
Dad is entirely too calm, when I can contact him in his meetings. He must be resigned to the fact that this house hates us. I'm in for a VERY long month of moving, hauling, packing...just to clear out our pack-rat basement because let's face it, this family is clinically pack-rat-deranged. We can't throw out ANYTHING. Well, now we have to. great. and it's going to be wet, and mouldy, and smelly. damnit. My neigbor suggested water draining from the gutters isn't getting far enough away from the house so I packed my little saturn as full of plastic tubing I could from home depot, and sawed it into pieces to extend the gutters. I felt sooo out of place in home depot, wandering around, totally lost, until some poor sod took pity on me.
At least my sister-in-law invited me out last night. I had a lot of fun and probably the best peach marguarita I have ever had. mmmmm. Let's hope things brighten up a little.
