June 4 2006.
It's happened again. Woke up to the forecast winter storm, all schools closed. Thought there was a rushing sound, didn't think much of it. Washed face; water pressure low. Impending doom feeling; ran downstairs.
Water. Pouring out of the dishwasher, kitchen floor awash; much worse this time; basement flooded again, water pouring through vents... oh, just like last time.
I can't take comfort in much except they sent their own man out to fix the dishwasher last time, so they can't blame us. Thank God I moved the books to the other side of the basement; some are wet but not many.
Eleanor is distraught as her homemade Clow cards are ruined.
Signing off now; we have to turn the power off so David can sort out the dishawasher and get the water back on.
Off I go to rise to the occasion and all that.
