Update on the flood stuff

Hey hey! I meant to write this a bit ago, but kept forgetting and getting distracted 😅

TL;DR: Sump pump broke from all the rain and snow, fixed it, kind broke again and flooded my room. Took a while, but all dry now and back to normalish and all my stuff is OK! 🥰 And also just had a shitty week on top of it.

Long Story: My mother's plumbing backed up before I left to come back home, that got fixed and fine. Come back home in an ice storm and chipped my car out of an inch of ice and drove home at 2am. Crushed out the rest of the weeks video and other stuff due that week in 2 days. Tired, decided I'll relax on Friday and go to bed. Sleep 2 hours and wake up sick, almost puking, deal with that and decided to just stay home and take medicine for the day. Later i step on the floor and go "Why's it wet? Huh, did I spill lube or something on the floor? Smells like it..." Tries cleaning it, only spreads "What the fuck is going on?" Tries cleaning growing spots in my carpet for two hours before I give up and that it'll dry by morning, whatever it was, and just finish the project I was doing. Step next to bed "Why's it wet?" step on one side *boom boom* other side *Slosh sloth* "FUUUCK! No way!" Check other side of the basement, up three inches of water under my floor "That'll do it" Move all my stuff off the ground and away from anything wet. Wake up parents and we start working on it (it's 4am). They go get pumps at Home Depot at 6am while I vacuum out water for 4 hours before going to bed, after being up 22 hours. vacuum again the next day and run the pumps, fans, and dehumidifiers to deal with the wet carpet that's growing. Go to sleep wet, wake up wet, and not the good way. Grandfather comes out and figures out it's the sump pump, we replace it, and get a new hose cause it had HOLES IN IT FEEDING INTO THE WALL! PROBLEM FIXED! Vacuum some wet spots to get water out of the carpet and relax for a bit. Decide to go finally shower and grab dinner, come back 30 minutes later "Hey, the spots I vacuumed are dry! NICE! Wait... why's that side of the room wet?" Pump pushed the hose out of the wall and pumped the water back into my room, flooding half the room under my bed. Yay.... Just laugh and say lifes shit sometimes. flooded under where I moved my desk. Parents bolt the hose in place so it doens't move again and I just sit in my chair stopping the wet floor eating cold dinner just accepting, wet. Move my bed and everything. Start mindlessly vacuuming floor to get water out, blow breaker, flip it back, lights work but outlets dont "Fuck... why... FUCK PUMP!" Run extension cord from kitchen to pump to make sure it works and goes and gets into my car to drive, get an ice cream to calm down and scream a bit. Scream... feel better. Go to Wendy's, "Sorry no Frostys." That's fine. I'll go to Denny's and get a milkshake at 2 am. "Sorry hon, we don't get milk till tomorrow, maybe the McDonald's is still open." It wasn't, I just got in my car and cried how I couldn't have one thing go my way this week, not even a fucking ice cream cone. Grandparents down the street, just go in and sleep on their couch. Next day go back, figure out I just didn't flip one of the breakers fully, works now, deal with wet room. Go to dance later, teacher hugs me, knowing I'm having a bad week. Fills up her water and says "look! No wet footprints!" Instantly, everything falls out of my hands and my water bottle breaks the glass top on one of their tables. Sigh "that's been my whole week..." probably looks about to cry and she just comes back over and hugs me and walks me away from it "it's ok, we have more, it's not a big deal... let's just move your stuff, we'll clean it up..." Just another thing... Sleep wet, wake up WET! for another week. BUT NOW! WE'RE FINALLY DRY!! That was my shitty, bad luck, tired and stressed flood week. 😊
