the culprit

{the water heater which reaks havoc}

This damn old water heater was the cause of very unhappy + unfortunate happenings and I am not amused. Alex and I packed up the Tahoe with boxes and small furniture to take over to our new condo last night. We get there and Alex's opens the garage door and I see it.

These photos were taken after I moved most of my boxes out of the water. After I stopped crying because my purple plastic tub with all of my "favorite" craft goodies had somehow fallen over and was thrown up all over the garage floor. After I had taken out and examined every single book in a water ruined box. After I'd thrown a fit out of anger and sadness. Why has every single step of moving into this place been a problem? Am I missing something here???

So you think it didn't get any worse, right? Wrong. We decided to stay the night but we can't park the car in the garage since we had to move all of the boxes to the side. We knew we'd risk the chance of getting a ticket because the home association has some really stupid rules about not parking in your own driveway or even in the available parking (without a permit) but what choice did we have. Our apartment is 45 minutes away and it was 11:30 at night. We were supposed to be to work early today because Alex and "the guys" were going golfing for some benefit.

We were running late this morning and I needed to get everything off the floor for the carpet cleaners who were going to be there at 9:00. I picked up all of the blankets we'd slept with on the floor and carried them to the car. At least, I would have if our car was there. It wasn't in the driveway and not one of the two parked across the way. I said, "Alex, where's the car?" Alex- "Very funny." Except it wasn't. Those @#%@#$^% people towed our car. I have it back now but what a mess. All because of that damn water heater.
