thankful day 3

well. today i am thankful for lowes. lol

morgantown had a monsoon yesterday afternoon. it rains here sure, but it was insane how much and how hard it rained in a short period of time, and then kept steadily raining. so much that lish and jason's basement started flooding.

so we had to hurry and carry all of my stuff upstairs and as much of lish's stuff as we could get out of the way and up on high surfaces while jason tried to use the shop vac to get water up. but it kept coming in faster and faster. so lish and i had to go to the magical lowes and buy a pump thing.

at the worst of it there was over 8 inches of water in the basement. but the pump thingy got that taken care of in short order. it was the craziest thing i've ever seen happen.

we saved almost everything from getting wet except the new unfinished doors they just bought that they were going to stain and all that stuff today actually. but they think that the insurance will cover the price of those. so if anything, we had a hell of an adventure.

and then we watched one of those ghost shows and ate dairy queen to celebrate the fact that we didnt need to buy a boat to get around. from what i hear, a good part of town flooded, so i guess we are very lucky.

i'm trying to stay very busy. thats the only thing that makes sense right now.

hope you all have a goody day.
