It was 6:20 pm and I got a call from a rather stressed Ida saying: "you guys need to go home immidiately!" My first thought: "oh my gosh, there's a fire" and I even managed to scan our living room in my head looking for sources where the fire could've started before Ida said "our basement is flooded". Ba-dum. Flooded, yay. There's -18 celsius outside and our basement is flooded.
We got ourselves home and entered the basement to see our ground floor neighbors shoveling water like heroes. 80 liter of ice cold water and all we could do was curse our washing machine and scoop it up in buckets.
After we finished and the building heater and whatever machine we needed was there to dry the place we dumped ourselves in our two chairs, brought out the chips, chocolate, cake, pepsi max (for Ida and Linda), beer (for mich) and watched the rest of the film from last night. And to finish the night off in style I jolted my full glass and flooded the living room floor with beer. :P Ta-da!
I'm thankful that I've chosen to pass all my troubles on to God and let Him deal with things, makes all unexpected things so much easier to handle, and the outcome way better than what I could've done myself. :)
Oh! Vi får erfaringer! Voksen-erfaringer. Tenk vi ler av hele greia om litt (etter at bygget er tørt, forsikringsfolka har vært greie og vi har ny vaskemaskin i hus).

Awww, I'm sorry to hear that, but I do, unfortunately, know what it feels like to have water in the basement. Only we had so much it was up to my knees and my brother was sailing in it with a plastic tub and we had to pump it out! lol. Attitude is everything, as you say, and we are very fortunate that we can laugh and let it go and let God take care of it! Loving your calendar! ;)

ReplyDeleteJa, tragisk på en måte, men samtidig en veldig interessant ting å se tilbake på som gammel og grå :)
