I am wiped out

had a very exhausting evening yesterday and it is starting out that way today also. Went down in the basement yesterday for the first time in about a week and found we had a broken drain pipe. The pipe runs through the unfinished basement ceiling. A lot of the water from laundry and kitchen sink and dishwasher was on the basement floor. Thank goodness it was just "grey water" and not yucky sewer stuff!! I think the last time I was down there was Tuesday or Wednesday, so not for about a week. I had done laundry on Wednesday, Friday (1 load), 2 Dishwasher loads over the weekend and another laundry load yesterday. What a mess. Thank goodness DH was home and we were able to get the pipe fixed and then the cleanup started. I am so glad we have a wet/dry vac. My back was so so sore last night I could hardly move. A nights sleep helped but I am fooling around here for a while before I go down and continue moving soggy boxes around as I have been for the last couple of hours. Have I mentioned lately that DH is a packrat? Some of his packing extends to the basement. Yuck!

I wish I was off visiting with Shari and Lanie!! Hope they are having a great time and taking pictures!

Off to read and get something for lunch. Ciao from a sore and tired KaCee

Poof!!! I'm gone!!

Ciao back to poor tired KaCee! What a dismal scene in your basement! Not a happy find. Glad for you that you have a wet/dry vac. Yes, I think I knew that your DH is a packrat...LOL What will you find in the soggy boxes?? or will you even look...

BTW, I did read about your festive Saturday evening, don't know if I wrote you back. The Greek food adventure sounded like lots of fun, just try a bit of everything! Nothing like moussaka, but it tastes so much better in Greece than it does when I make it...what's with that??

Hope your basement dries real fast, and you know, you probably should be over there chaperoning Lanie and Shari. I know it would be a long trip for you, but they do need someone watching out for them! LOL Seren

Oh, Kacee, glad you found the leak before it got worse. I know about that sore business, too. Have you made any definite decisions about the remodeling yet? Thanks for the information on the bracelets. I finally saw one in person. A friend who is from NJ bought one while visiting family this spring.

We are getting closer on the remodel Brenda. Narrowing it down. The basement is drying out nicely. Thank goodness it is warm today (mid 70's) and is expected to be nice all week, in the 80's tomorrow and the last part of the week. I have the outside door open and the one window that opens. I dragged a lot of stuff outside in the sun to dry out also. Ugh! KaCee

Poof!!! I'm gone!!
