Flood Recovery Is Like The Process Of Moving

The rush came to move my belongings back away from the water drenched carpet when water seeped into my apartment. My main concern then was to get the items moved away. That process, in relative terms, necessarily came fast, because the carpet guy needed to move in his equipment to suck out the... Sign in to see full entry.

I Am Back Online In My Flood-Recovered Home

All the blowers have been removed. That was a welcome site when I came home from work tonight. That means the carpet has been completely dried and I can move things back upon it. However, it being late and with work following again in the morning, I only did limited moving tonight. After applying a... Sign in to see full entry.

Lucky Break, But Inconvenient Dependence Upon Take-Out

I almost was not going to post on this blog today. I would have ran smack into the hour-long library limit. However, a notice popped up while I was working on my scriptural blog that I was alotted fifteen more minutes. So here I am. As I mentioned yesterday, my flood recovery circumstances have...

Inconvenienced Again, This Time Worse, By Flooded Rug

First I heard what I thought was a gentle boiling on my stove, even though I was not using it at the time. Then I looked down. There was water on the kitchen floor, water again on the carpet. This time it was worse than a week ago. Maintenance told me I had to get out of there immediately in case... Sign in to see full entry.

Washington And Oregon May Be Jumptng The Gun On Pot

A tragedy involving a co-worker gives me further pause about the hasty mistake that Washington state, along with Colorado, has made in regard to marijuana legalization. My co-worker--actually a worker for the night shift--a few nights ago wrapped his car around a telephone pole. He survived but is... Sign in to see full entry.

The Return Of Plantar Fasciitis

Feeling the pressure on the heal of my left foot, I readily realized that, alas, I have plantar fasciitis again. The first time it happened several years ago, in my right foot. Plantar fasciitis refers to a condition whereby the muscles in the bottom of the foot sag out of position, which leads to... Sign in to see full entry.

A Computer Miscreant Strikes The Company Computer Records

Because of a computer miscreant, my fellow workers and I were told to turn in our locker room padlocks and receive a new one. This is because someone had broken into the work computer records of everyone's padlock numbers. Obviously, this put people's personal belongings at risk. It is senseless...

Ronald Reagan Revered In Poland

In spite of the crazy arm removal off the Gdansk statue of Ronald Reagan, it stands that Reagan is revered in Poland. Why else would Poland have a statue of Reagan? The statue was dedicated a year ago, along with a statue of Pope John Paul II, because these two historical figures are celebrated and... Sign in to see full entry.

Settled Back In

The carpet man came yesterday afternoon, and all was finally good. So I slept well last night--in my own bedroom. Callie the cat is more at home. The de-humidifier is removed from the kitchen, so that I actually have room to comfortably prepare meals there. I moved most of everything back, but to... Sign in to see full entry.

A Stick In The Carpet

Though the huge blowers were blowing and I was cramped in my flood-affected apartment, I waited there so that I could finally have contact with the maintenance personnel working on it. Finally in the early-to-mid-afternoon, a rap sounded on my door. Two men entered, one carrying a stick. He poked... Sign in to see full entry.
