Ok, well, today was better than yesterday.  I did miss class this morning, but we have water in the house now and I did manage to work for an hour or two.  Biology class for tomorrow is canceled so I'll make up some work hours tomorrow, I guess.

My bedroom (which seems to be the lowest room in the house) is where most of the water flowed to.  I didn't realize until this morning that both of my carpeted closets got wet so I immediately started moving stuff out of there when I found out.  Looks like a minimal amount of stuff was damaged, thank goodness.  However, my bedroom is in such disarray that it took me forever to get myself out of the house.  I needed dry shoes, which were buried under the stuff I removed from the closets.  It felt like the difficultly of every minute task was multiplied by a thousand today.  Blegh.

I've got a ton of laundry to do - partially clean things that got wet, part dirty things that I was going to do anyway, and part was clothing that was donated to my dad that was in a box in my bedroom.  My porch also looks terrible because it's full of stuff I moved out of the house so we could get the water up, so...  I need to go through that and see what survived and what didn't.  But that's going to have to wait until this weekend because I am freaking exhausted.  😳

Anyway.  I don't think Shadow had a bad birthday, thank goodness.  We took him to eat at Waffle House (that's what he chose!), and my mom came to see him and brought him a dessert he likes.  There was not much celebrating today because we all felt like crap.  I didn't get nearly enough sleep because I was up cleaning and despite making Shadow go to bed he didn't sleep well because of all the noise we were making with the wet / dry vac.  Shaun didn't sleep at all - he just stayed up a few more hours and then went to work.  So we haven't been a very lively crew, but maybe by this weekend we can relax and do something fun.  I hope!

Well, I'm about to check on all the animals and call it a night.  I don't think I could stay awake for much longer even if I tried.  Goodnight, friends!
