EXCUSE MY EXTENDED ABSENCE...AGAIN

[railenthe]

My APARTMENT FLOODED.

 

I'm spending the next few days cleaning that up.

 

EDIT 3:26  AM TECHNICALLY the next day:  I think that the worst of the water is up now.  I sacked sleep and pain relief to soak up the worst of the flooding, put down disinfectant, and scrubbed affected areas of the floor after throwing a window open.

 

... then, I had to fold a basket of...STUFF... in order to make room for the bags of now-sopping towels.

 

Of course, these will require HEAVY bleach.  It's a good thing most of my linen is boring white.

 

The folding basket had a bath mat and a single bath towel.  So at least I can now look forward to a nice hot bath once a reasonable hour comes up.  By morning, it'll be time to do baseboards with this concentrated cleaner that smells rather like needles and ether— it will kill ANYTHING.  Even gross drain germs like this probably left behind.

 

... if you're wondering what the hell needles smell like it's hard to explain unless you have that weird thing where you can taste metal after getting stuck with the sterile needs.  ...it is a bit like a combination of alum, aluminum, and raw silver.

 

... for the record, I can't stand needles.
