This is NOT how I wanted to spend my Friday

[baronessekat]

So I had thought to use my economic stimulus check, when it arrives, to do something sensible like pay down back bills from when I was unemployed.

The cosmos has said "NoooOOOOOooo" instead I will need to consider using it for new flooring in the family room.

I came downstairs this morning to the sound of water running in the laundry room. I didn't start any laundry last night when I went to bed so I was curious. a hose had burst and the entire laundry room and part of the family room were under water. Who am I kidding... ARE under water. The shag has soaked up most of it right handily but still... it's all going to have to go.

CURSE WORD, CURSE WORD, CURSE WORD.

And it's cold water too and I didn't buy my rain boots yet that I had wanted to.

Have called the bosses. Woke both of them up but too bad, I wanted to make sure folks knew I ain't coming in today.

DAMN IT.

Not a good way to start your day - I hope your weekend is better! Hopefully at least the Little Man didn't get into the mess.

BTW, will homeowners insurance pay for the damages and the new floor?

little man thinks squishy carpet is fun.

Homeowners - a different kettle of ARGH.

Wet vac's are magical things. You can handle this!

OH HONEY! I'm sorry. I really am. I wish I could help.

But yes. You can do this.

I'm coming to the party late, but...
1. At least it's clean water. Sewage would be a whole new galaxy of ick.
2. You can handle this. You DO have the check, which, while not as nice as paying debt, at least means yu're not adding to debt to fix this.
3. There will be a period sometime today in which you can sit outside in the sun wiht a cup of tea and relax for just a few minutes. Take what good you can.

I'm so sorry! That has got to be the pits. I know your later posts indicate that you've gotten most of the water up, the carpet is still a loss.

I'm thinking positive thoughts for you!
