Panic

[jmfargo]

Hey everyone, I was going to respond to your fantatically thought-out responses to yesterdays post, but real life intrudes.

I have about an inch and a half of water in the basement with more pouring in as we speak. I've rigged up an "osmosis drainage system" so that most of the incoming will leak into the sink, but that'll only work so long. Have to go fight a real life adventure and take care of my stuff. I'll talk more as I can. It's nasty and slippery down there, AND it's still raining.

UPDATE: The rain is slacking off and the weird contraption I have set up to siphon off the incoming water into the washbasin is actually working! Go osmosis! and "Whoo!" 8th grade science class! It's a mess, but it's better. Now that it's better, I get to work. I'm grateful that I have a boss who understands that when I say "I have an emergency and need you to find backup for me today" she actually finds me backup. Sure, I'm getting a little stressed over my job these days, but they treat me pretty well when I need them to.

That's a pretty cool way to think about it in a kind of "you're high" way. ;) But yeah, the pressure just keeps forcing everything in, and you do your best to keep everything at a level, even if you can't get it back to where it was.

Thankfully the rain has stopped here, and we were able to level things off before starting clean up. Don't worry Kimma, you'll get there with this allergy thing, the rain will stop, and you'll get back to a better place.
