Well, my stay in New York went fine. Excellent in fact. The arrival at the house in Austin is another matter. We came home in a hurricane, those of you who read this and are from Austin know this already, two days of gusting winds and flooding rains. I won’t go into the damage that has been caused in this area, you can read that in the newspaper and on line I suppose.
We came home to a flooded laundry room, which extended into the garage and a very wet carpet in the den, rain had come in from a horizontal direction with gusts for two days solid. The yard was total chaos.
Tomorrow workers will begin picking up the floor in the shed, which is presumably where the water is coming from and work their way into the garage and see where the water entered the house and what needs to be done…...
I pray we can still clean the carpet in the den (my office).
Welcome home!
Otherwise ok to be here if I don’t let the house get to me. The work to get this all organized and sold – furniture/electronics/books/paperwork/movies, etc – and get bids for painting, and other odds and ends, is huge. But I have made a start and I am full of energy to get this done.
People have hardly noticed I was gone it seems (3 months!), except for a few dear friends. The dogs are happy and after a huge clean up and haircut, look like my doggies again.
Wish me luck, hell no, luck has not much to do with this, in the next few months.
