A few weeks ago my basement flooded, and I don't mean in some nudgenudgewinkwink way, but in the literal water an inch high covering my laundry room, downstairs bathroom and into part of the rec-room. I got the joy of mopping up water until 1 am too. Luckily nothing of major value was damaged, but it was a pain in the ass to deal with, at first. Now the basement is being re-done and suddenly it's a good thing that this happened. Not that I'd wish it upon anyone, but it's good when things seem to suck and then turn out good.

Apple crisp.
Pumpkin pie.
The awesome colors of the leaves.
Jeans and a sweater weather.
Campfires are PERFECT for this time of year.
The bugs are mostly dead and gone.
It's cool at night so you don't sweat like a freak while sleeping.
HALLOWEEN.
People who put up their halloween decorations early.
Stores start bringing out cool halloween stuff.
Thunderstorms.
Students go back to school so they're finally out of the way.
TV shows start giving us new episodes again.

Leaves on the ground are slippery to walk on.
Raking leaves is fun at first but sucks horribly when you've got a big pile of leaves and there isn't a close place to rake them all too.
Bagging leaves is for losers; I rake mine into a place where they can ROT, or somewhere to be BURNT.
Hardy bugs that survive the chilly nights and like to buzz in your face.
Bees that are getting dumb and slow due to the cooler air.
Stores and people that start putting out xmas crap.
Too much rain and cloudy weather.
The summer vacation is over for students.
Having to prepare for winter by cleaning up the yard of all the fun stuff.
Forgetting to prepare for winter and having snow fall early, buring things that then rust.
Lame shows you hate start showing new episodes and getting in the way of TV you actually like.

Robots in the HOME.
Tonight, my husband called me into the kitchen and told me, with total surprise in his face, that the oven was self-cleaning itself. SELF CLEANING. You press a button and it locks the door from being opend and CLEANS ITSELF. This might be old news to others but this is new to the both of us. We've heard of these things, but never have we witnessed it in action. We stared at the oven for about a minute, thrilled at thise newfound knowledge. Right now, as I type away, my oven is cleaning itself. What's next, self-cleaning kitchens? Sign me up. And I'd like a replicator too, so I can get rid of this oven.
Gotta love it.
Don't you just love it when you're trying to focus on writing things and someone else in the room keeps yammering at you, even though you politely asked them not to? Yea. I guess that person forgets that when THEY need to focus and do something, you let them, but someone they can't do the same for you. That sucks when that happens. Next time, I will start up on the drums. TAKE THAT!
Sleep, or lack thereof.
The last week of sleeping has sucked royaly. If I'm not tossing and turning, I'm coughing, being woken up by others or having bizarre dreams that make me feel like I haven't slept. It sucks. I really need a GOOD night's sleep so I can think properly again.
Goodbye things.
Now that the basement is being redone due to flood, we're taking this oppertunity to purge a bunch of crap from the house. It's good to see it go, but it takes a lot of work to sort through it and then get it out the door. When you're sleep deprived, the process takes a while. Bah! It should be like in the Sims, I just click on something, delete it and the cash value of it appears in my bank account.
