The best laid plans

You know I did some sewing today after all. Interrupted by Another Flood.


I could hardly believe it when the waters started rising in the sewing room floor once again. 


My side of the street has really taken a hit. My next door neighbour has had the remediation folks in there on two separate occasions lately - she has it all torn out and new floors put in and it happens again.


Fortunately for me I live with my remediation crew and lately he has been at home for all events. He had a sump running in the sewing room with a discharge hose running out into the bathtub in the downstairs bathroom. So we got through it alright.


There was nothing much I could do but I felt it would have been in really bad taste to be working on a 50's hostess gown style velour housecoat while he was sweating it out with the pails.


So I only cut out and stopped and then went to work on Christmas presents and made sure I made appreciative noises at the same time. I felt that was more virtuous and expressed my solidarity with someone being so useful.


Maybe better luck on all fronts tomorrow. I am convinced I'll look great walking around the new kitchen in this get up.

  2. another flood? This is awful. I spilled milk in my car and it really smells bad and it probably always will.
    There, I hope that made you feel a little better.
    No? You are right, a flood is worse.
