Apartment storm

I feel like there has been a lot of movement, a lot of hassle, with very little results.

Most of the past two days have been decent, and some parts have been very good.

But, lets go back farther.

Monday night. some ridiculous time like 2am, Angeline wakes me up.  I am very confused because it sounds like it is storming/raining outside which made me want to continue sleeping...then she comes in and says that the apartment is flooding...

I jump up and am very surprised by the storm within the apartment. First thing I noticed was the water coming out of the light fixture in the kitchen...not just dripping, but it looked like a shower...and everything was wet...

Immediately I called emergency maintenance, and they were aware of the problem as the apartment upstairs had a waterline bust...which is the problem... I frantically unplug stuff, move stuff off counters, and try to identify all the wet spots.  At this point I am delirious and just giggling.

at around 4-4:30am the maintenance and carpet cleaning people come...and for the next two days we are stuck with dehumidifiers and fans, all industrial looking, all over the apartment.  And because my bathroom and closet are together...I got to have both of those IN MY ROOM/BATHROOM. Which meant that the first night resulted in essentially no sleep.

Upon waking up I am very annoyed that I am still really sleepy...cleaned which made me very grumpy.  Cleaning is one thing, cleaning by myself is another factor, cleaning something while feet are soggy? gross...it's just a mess....after lunch I couldn't take it anymore and headed over to Easton.  Bought PJs and slipper socks at VS, visited with Vanessa, the mall smelled weird (like the stuff they perm hair with), and then we bumped into Will.  Then, the three of us walked over to Barnes and Nobles because Vanessa's mom and brother wanted to see Glen Beck.  Will and I got caffeine (I desperately needed it), and then afterwards he drove us to our cars.  I met up with Vanessa at her house, and we exchanged gifts (she gave me a beautiful new Fossil purse! hands free! ). Her brother left for soccer.  We later discover he had driven off with Vanessa's car without telling her...and my shopping bag was in it.  I wanted it.  He wasn't going to be home at a decent hour and her dad said to not make it easy for him.

Had dinner with her family at Chipotle (it was very entertaining), watched Robot with Vanessa, and she made me REALLY RICH hot chocolate.  Then I went home. Got a decent amount of sleep.

Woke up, went to get my MRI done for Angeline's clinical psych study thing...it made me sleepy but it was sort of cool...came home...Vanessa's brother dropped off my bag, more like I met him at the entrance cus he somehow couldn't get in...Even better, i was excited and wanted to try the PJs on....the stupid detector/sensor tag is on it. So pissed. Stupid store. had to DRIVE TO TUTTLE to get them to take it off. What a hassle. GOOD thing is that when I got back, it fit well, and I think it's cute, as well as the slipper socks.

Then began laundry.

Maintenance took away all the fans/dehumidifiers so it is quiet but it still smells like soggy cardboard and mothballs.  Monday they're going to professionally clean the whole apartment. Hm.

Also, sometime during the apartment storm mess my shovel disappeared. I paid decent money for that shovel cus I wanted a big one and now it is gone...

and my car is disgustingly dirty...

before long laundry will be done and I will feel somewhat accomplished today, until tomorrow when I get to go to the dentist, clean, and stuff...apartment is still gross.

before long I will be back in Oxford, hopefully break is good...we'll see...
