The sky is falling

Well it sort of is falling as it raining outside and dripping on our bed. The Light shade is full of water. Not only am I sleeping with Bill and Charlie but now there is a large pot in the mix. It is 4:45 on Saturday night ( or more correctly Sunday morning) when this happens. I try to get some more sleep but after waking at 5:00, 5:15, 5:30and 5:45 I give up and get up. Do some dishes, vacumm the living room, clear off some of the dinning room table so Inge has some room to sew................. ...... meanwhile it is pouring rain outside............... yes the sky is falling. Then I go into the ROOM to get something ..................... can't remember what but does it really matter now............. THE SKY IS FALLING IN THERE TOO.....................#%&%E&%&T%E$^$%*&
The wicker suitcase full of photos is under the drip plus the box below it full of framed pictures. Bill helps me rescue everything. We figure the electric fireplace is okay so I put a bucket on it and an other one under another spot and start to rescue the wet items. Bill phoned Inge and asked her not to come. Now comes the problem of trying to find enough flat spots to lay out towels and dry photos.Those of you who know us realize how difficult this is.............. we don't have empty flat spots. So now there are towels on the counters, the dish washer, the stove, the table, the floor and the bench by the door. Photos spread out every where, fortunately Bill says the negatives should be okay. That is good because some of them were my parents and I don't have the photos.
Scanning these negative into the computer to get the pictures is one of the many projects on my long list of things to do..................... There isn't really a list as that would be too daunting and use way too much paper .
DD Jill comes over with a young friend who turns out to have roofing experience.................is there a young man these days who hasn't done roofing????? Any way he goes up in the attic and finds THREE leaks. Two leaks are due to missing shingles but ONE is a hole compliments of the local squirrel population. Justin tarps off the areas that are leaking and now we have to get a hold of the land lord to give him the bad news.
All can say about this crisis is it doesn't involve any family member and the emergency service or Doctors......................... mind you if any thing else happens they maybe getting two Drs. to commit me............. shit never mind the DRS.....................I will do it myself if things don't settle down.
