Loren’s Life

I’m a few days late in writing about my exciting Tuesday. By chance, I woke up to two good morning wake up telephone calls from two good friends. I was lying in bed chatting, then got out of bed to officially wake up. And awake I was as I stepped into a puddle of water. My first thought was “What spilled?”, until I took another step, then another and realized the puddle encompassed my entire bedroom, bathroom, some of the hallway and the kids room.

Apparently my toilet had leaked/overflowed and poured water all night long as I slept peacefully. I spent the rest of the day cleaning up my miniature Pacific. Thankfully, after mopping up buckets and buckets without noticing any progress, I remembered there is such a thing as a “Wet Vac”. I went to Hawaii Rent All and $20.00 later I was on my way home with a superpower water suckerupper. This made the job go much faster. I had to wash tons of things and throw away a lot of things (thankfully not sentimental or too valuable).

I am sore from actually doing some manual labor instead of sitting at my desk all day but the flood is now in the past and my feet are dry!
