The great flood of '06
Yesterday it rained so hard there were people swimming in our parking lot. They waded in shortly after I took this photo:

To A Deluxe Apartment in the Sky
So we made it through our move in about six hours, with a little help from friends. My guiltiest moment was when I tried to comfort Billie during her difficult time, and she peed all over me. She's never done that before, and had so far been entirely functional when it came to her litter box habits. I felt like a bad mom.
I struggled through the next few days, in the midst of two very busy and important weeks for me at work. And on Friday, when I had nearly made it to what seemed like an unreachable weekend, I wrecked my car just a little bit. There were men working on one side of the garage door, with their van taking up half the driveway. In my efforts to not run them over, I didn't give myself enough room on the right side of my car. And so it happened that I scraped the rear half of my passenger side along the frame of the garage door, breaking a plastic piece of framing from the doorway. And it will cost $1700 to fix my car.
Over the weekend I did the whole insurance claim thing as well as the last bits of our move, and on Monday, I wrote a proud email to the rental company stating that I had finished cleaning our old apartment downstairs, and was ready to hand over our keys to complete our checkout. And also stating that I had broken their garage door and my insurance company would be contacting them shortly to make sure any damages were covered. I was a little excited because we're supposed to get some money from our security deposit back, which is sorely needed at the moment. A week later, and no response from them.
