Dry floors and big green walls

After a month of walking on water, soggy carpet and concrete throughout my house, things are almost getting back to normal.

Remember the great flood? The one that spewed from beneath my water water (though it was previously believed to be a washing machine issue)? The one that sent waves of floodwaters crashing into the corners of my house? The one that kept me up all night mopping like an idiot? The one that wrecked my living room and a month of my life? Yes, that one.

Well, it’s all dry now. In fact, I’ve got carpet installed in two rooms and laminate floors ready to be placed in others. I even tried my hand at painting. See my living room below? Big green walls. My paint job was so bad I had to call in the pros from TNT. The great thing about my living room is despite the great flood, I still had my TV and recliner. You know, the important things in life.

Things are almost normal now. I better not say that. Don’t want to jinx myself. I couldn’t have made it through this without sushi.
