what a day! I thought everything was going to be pleasant today, but it was not to be. It began when I walked down to our fully carpeted basement and put my foot in a puddle at the bottom of the stairs. Apparently the torrential rains last night left us a leaky basement and a partially soaked carpet.
Then as I was getting ready to run to the store to rent a RugDoctor, I checked my cell phone to find a message saying that Toby's doctor has the flu and needs to cancel his appointment, When I called back I talked to an absolute idiot who kept referring to Toby as a "she" and tried to schedule me an appointment with the wrong doctor for the 19th, which is just too long to wait. Plus I wanted to see Toby's doctor, not whoever they happened to have available. I gave up on her and e-mailed my doctor directly. Her assistant e-mailed me back very promptly and got me in with the right doctor next Friday. So that is that.
I had to cancel my lunch plans to deal with the carpet, and I rescheduled with our dinner guest because we will be spending the evening ripping up carpet and replacing the pad. This afternoon I will continue to keep soaking up as much of the water as I can with the wet/dry vac.
Ugh
