Uh, so. Our condo decided to flood at 2:30 this morning. AUGH. We probably had 2-3 inches of standing water in our entire condo. Y'know, the one with WOOD FLOORS throughout? (Thank goodness it wasn't carpet, though. We might be able to get away without having to replace the wood, hopefully.)
And, of course, we own...one bucket, 2 mops, and about 6 towels. So, we totally had to bail out the condo with cups and a plastic trash can. And, at one point, a ziploc bag XD
My poor husband was getting ready to go to bed when he found out that we were flooding...so yeah, he just went to bed right when I came home from work this morning (like...20 minutes ago?)
I'm very frustrated that I can't find my hair dryer. Because, while most of our stuff has been unpacked by now, the things that weren't? Were mostly ALL OUR ART, which was in a cardboard box on the floor. This consists of some pictures Bry's great-grandma painted, some paintings by my grandfather, and some photographs I took in a photography class a while ago, all nicely framed and just waiting to be hung up. Thankfully, the pictures themselves look okay, but all the mats are soaked, so I want to dry them out with the hair dryer before they start to mold. Problem: CANNOT FIND HAIR DRYER.
Thank goodness we managed to get our bottom-shelf books up high before they got ruined.
...So much for getting to see Harry Potter this weekend.
