I was lucky, the "tide" ebbed at my apartment. I stared out my window for several hours watching to see if the water level was rising. It was freaking me out. Apparently, a car drove through early on and caused a little water to seep in under my door (which is rusty and full of space at the bottom). That's how I knew it was flooding. I opened the door to see a parking lot full of water, cars in water almost deep enough to cover the tires. So, after seeing this, I immediately grabbed several plastic bags I keep for trash and the duct tape and sealed the door.
The rest of my Monday night/Tuesday morning was spent watching out the window to see if I was going to have water issues. Fortunately, it never made it all the way in. When the water finally started to recede, I felt comfortable in nodding off and getting a few hours of sleep.
My car... was not as fortunate. I'm still getting the water out of it. I started my day this morning by driving over to a car wash and detailer and having them drain the water. Apparently, they still couldn't get everything. There's a bit of a musty smell, but I'm hoping it will clear up in another day or two of airing out. Also, some wood chips are lodged somewhere under my hood or elsewhere in the chassis because every time I drive around, I smell burning wood (I think it's cedar). Oh, and my Air Bag light keeps flashing; so somewhere there's a computer issue that I'm going to have to deal with.
Enough depression... on to happier topics!
Going back to last weekend, spent the 4th with the family. My folks have a place at Emerald Isle (local beach area) and we always try to go down for the 4th because we can see several fireworks displays from our dock (Emerald Isle, Morehead City, Swansboro, Cape Carteret, and about three others we couldn't identify). This year, there was also someone a few docks down with some high-end fireworks. They started their show right after the Emerald Isle display ended.
Here's the thing, the first one went off right over my head.
RIGHT-OVER-MY-HEAD!
Freaked me out.
Madison: Hello. How are you? Tom: "Antidisestablishmentarianism" is such an awesome word. Also, best thing I've heard said about Jackson. Elayne: How's the cottage? Madi: This month is your sixteenth b-day and my thirtieth. Two amazing milestones! Oh, and that video is Epic-tastic!!
Let's see... today was awesome because I read a really good story from my friend Corbie (see the playlist below) and I got to hang out with my friend LeAnne for most of the afternoon and evening.
Oh yeah, and here's the Battle Rockets show I finally got around to uploading. The player has all six videos conveniently located in one place:
