Back in DC, Flooded Apartment
Feel like I’ve been running on empty getting back from my work trip. Landed at Dulles at about noon Sunday, to save some money I rode the shuttle and train back home, dropped my stuff off and headed out to catch up on some studying that I couldn’t finish while on travel. Sitting at potbelly’s I noticed that it was pouring outside and the street was turning into a river pretty quickly. After about an hour of this I thought better to go home and check on the apartment - too late, half of the main room had flooded.
Spent the rest of the afternoon and evening clearing out the water, hanging up the rugs, and throwing out stuff. Luckily way back I had the foresight to try and keep everything raised on shelfs especially all electrical outlets raised off the floor to avoid an electric shock. The only real loses were a bunch of rugs from linens and things and IKEA, no big deal. In retrospect it made for an impromptu spring cleaning.
The downside is that I lost an afternoon and evening which could’ve been invested in studying, and of course its back to work the next day. Back to the grindstone.
