This could be in the Doom dreams section but it is more pertinent here since the whole move thing might be messing with my head.
I woke up in the middle of the night and got out of bed. I noticed moisture coming from the ceiling. I look up and sure enough water is leaking in through the roof. I go into the closet to check how extensive the leak is. It's extensive. I can see the water drops forming on the ceiling before they drop to my feet. I'm going to need a new roof along with all my other repairs. Just feckin' great.
Then I wake up. All is dry except for my sweat covered pillow.
The next phase is getting the new flooring put in. I have two different carpets in the house and the look miserable. The first thing our realtor confirmed was that I was going to need new flooring. Sigh. I agreed.
The flooring is ready to come in. They are currently tracking down the molding that goes with it before they drop it off at the house. There 87 boxes of flooring I will have to carry from the curb to the house. The flooring has to sit in the house for 72 hours before installation to acclimate.
They are going to rip up the carpet first, naturally. but everything in the house that is on the floor has to go. I have to take apart the desks I built or modified. My headboard has to be dismantled. So much crap. I pray for the cleansing fire.
The current timeline is for this to be done by next Tuesday or so. As I look around the house, especially my office, I have a lot of crap that has to get on up. I'm planning to stage some of it on the deck. I'm hoping it doesn't rain during the floor install.
Home Depot swears it will only take a day for the flooring to be installed. I'll believe it when I see it. Even if it takes two days, that disruption should be minor compared to when the interior of the house gets painted. That is supposed to take a week.
Until then, sweet dreams.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
