Hot again.
Disaster struck this morning. We were woken up by the phone at 6:30 am telling us
that the apartment was flooding and there was water running outside. Fumihiko and
I quickly got dressed and drove over to the apartment. Overnight somehow the hose
to the washing machine came loose and water was cascading everywhere. Fumihiko turned off
the tap and then we set about cleaning things up. Luckily the water was clean, so
I didn't have to worry about a bad smell. Unfortunately some books and my brand
new magazine were soaked and I put them in a bag to dispose of later. Sigh.The building manager
arranged for a carpenter to come and check the underneath of my apartment to see
if it was damaged. I will have to pay for everything. Sigh. I'm just glad that
no one else's apartment was damaged.
I was pretty tired at work today, for good reason I think. I had a sinking feeling
all day, but Fumihiko was a brick and helped me out so much. If I'd had to deal with
all of this I'd have been a basket case, but as it is I'm not too too bad.
Not about me, but in Yamagata city, 8 people were taken to the hospital with heat
stroke. It was 37.4 degrees there. Yikes. It's been so hot I hope it cools down
soon.
And that's it for me. I need to get some sleep tonight. Night night!
