Well, for those who are weather watchers, you'll know that the Virginia / Maryland / D.C. area has had a wee bit o' rain.....

The night before last we got 4 inches in an hour at my house. The house we are renting is split level, with a basement / first floor depending on which end of the house you're in. Well, that lovely slope focused the newfound river from the back around to a window...... with water quite literally filling up the window so you looked out it underwater as if into an aquarium. Of course that only held so long before: SPLASH!

Then LAST night while we were cleaning from the previous evening, wet-vacuuming and sopping, and moving furniture, the rain continued...... and from the back yard poured under the WALL onto the kitchen tile, through the ceiling and onto my head via the overhead electric light socket.
SIGH......

I just needed to vent a sec before heading to the garage to salvage boxes of my books (yet to be unpacked).

It's just stuff.
But STILL.....
Grrrrrr.
