Under Water

So, the worst of it is over. The water has been sopped up, and most of the things- papers, books, games, toys, recipes, projects, letters, plans- are gone. Pulp is not something you can turn back into the paper it was before the incident. "The incident" was the damage to my little office following the break of two water lines in the vacant apartment upstairs. It is over, no one died, and other than the gross, wet smell, its not so bad. I did learn something though and that is that nothing of value should be stored on the floor. Ever. The flood happened before the New Year, so I will put this in the 2008 column. I am just looking forward now. Happy New Year.
