I know we were under drought conditions a couple of months ago, but this much rain is just ridiculous! It's not the rain that I mind, it's the flooding basement and the lack of coffee/tea at work as a result of all of the rain.
After we got home from dinner last night, Karen heard water flowing into the basement. It sounded like there was a spigot on. This happened before, but now it's compounded as I am finishing part of the basement to put my office down there, and this just can't happen once I get the floor, drywall, insulation, and computers in. Guess I'll have to pay for someone to come out and regrade the yard. Great!
As for the coffee/tea, some of the rain water spilled over into the treated water suplies at the local water company at work, putting a boil advisory up for the area. That means no hot water for coffee or tea, which I drink every morning. I forgot to bring in some coffee from home today, but I will have to do it for tomorrow as they are not planning on lifting the advisory until at least Thursday.
