Damn. I just found
out that I lost four boxes of books to water damage.
Before I got sick I had boxed up some things to put in a
storage unit to make room to clean up the house. So I had four cardboard boxes filled and
taped shut and ready to go but they never went anywhere. They were in a dry spot, protected from damp
but not protected from the more than foot of water that resulted from the sump
pump burning out.
It’s not that serious a thing. I mean it’s nothing life threatening – been
there, done that. It’s just very
annoying because of the circumstances, since it was stuff I was trying to save
and now it’s trash. I just feel like
complaining about it.
I lost 3 – 4 years’ worth of National Geographic magazines,
some fiction, some reference and text books from college and some worthless –
not priceless – first editions.
I had forgotten this stuff was there. I only found it today because I had to make
room to get to the gas shut off valve, which I need to get to for when we have
our new range delivered/installed. Yeah,
that broke, too. First the car with the
rack and pinion and now the oven won’t light.
I give the dishwasher about 7 weeks.
The garbage disposal will last forever because I hate it.
