We had a downpour yesterday afternoon, but the sandbags did their job and no water got in the garage. We're probably the only homeowner around here to use sandbags, but the last time the rain got into the garage, then the hallway, and then into my bedroom, 3 inches deep all in about 20 minutes. Remediation and carpet replacement, $8000. The threshold is not level under the garage door, a gap of maybe 1/2 inch on one end, but enough to flood the entire lower house. The price includes ripping out the buried french drain and replacing it with a large pipe, new gutters, and a very hyped sense of the weather.
I have been playing around with my tiny Nikon Coolpix camera, and found it has features I never knew about. For instance, it has a built-in star filter, you can use it while shooting or after on the photo. It has settings for all sorts of conditions, like beach, fireworks, sports, snow, as well as the usual portrait, red eye, etc. I have been entertained for several days, now if I could only get outside to use the camera... I also found I have two of these exact cameras, oops.
The consensus of the therapists is that I need to be more challenged in the routine, so for the two sessions this week I leave with sweat dripping and legs like noodles. Also, I need to get out and walk, even if I do it at the old mall. I went to the CVS pharmacy where I can sit down between coming in and leaving. The lady who has been there the most came out and gave me a hug, I guess I haven't been in there for 1 or 2 years, but they always ask about me when C comes in.
I should be getting a package in today's mail of floss. Yes, yes, I know, MORE floss?! But I do enjoy just holding them and sorting the colors, maybe it reminds me of kindergarten. Or something. Anyway, delivery today should be soon.
That's it for now, thanks for reading, and I hope you found something interesting here. Bye!
