Why God?

Great. Get woken up at 1 AM cause my basement is flooding. My basement drain is clogged so my waterproofing system that directs water to it is flooding the basement. 2 sump pumps are working to direct water away from the house. Nobody is going come at 1 AM to unclog a basement drain in the middle of a thunderstorm. I did call someone and they answered, but technician can't come until 8 AM. My roommate is busy using a vacuum to suck up the water rushing in and dumping it in the bathtub. Long night ahead.

Well, all my holiday decorations and everything stored in the is getting soaked. Water coming in too fast for them to keep up. They have to sleep upstairs now.

I did rescue my decorations in cardboard boxes. The rest are on top of plastic bins so should be okay for time being.

Well the water went down probably not a clog in our end. Probably a backed sewer system from all the rain. And more rain coming. My yard is mushy swamp covered in pine cones and tree branches.

Waiting for plumber and get a call. They were booked up today so my appointment was made for tomorrow. Nice dispatcher moved it to today. Told them still wanted them to check for any blockage for future downfalls don't flood my basement.

Water went and left soaked boxes. The wet towels soaked up where the water was ankle deep.

Plumber finally came in the late afternoon then left and his machine pushed out the clog within 4 feet of the pipe out so drain now works. At least it was a clog and not an overwhelmed sewer causing the flood.

My day keeps getting better. Now the washing machine is out. Probably because of the ankle deep water it was in. Dryer still works. Repair guy to look at it to determine if can be repaired or outright needs replaced can't come until Monday.

The guy I called to check the leaking ceiling in the basement says the problem us not the foundation, but the roof. Now have to call a roofer.

Got the piece of resistance of my problems heap on my stressed shoulders. Roommate drove a friend home in the rain last night and drove through flood water bad enough to stop and reverse. Now I have a car to fix cause bumper piece is loose and license plate needs new screw, a chainsaw and shopvac to rent to clean up basement and yard. Getting my laptop fixed cause suddenly won't connect to internet. How's your day?
