bittersweet

Nothing beats a good storm...I love the sound of the thunder, the lightening in the sky, the piddle paddle of the rain....drip drip drop little april shower song going through my head all day...

that is until you need an umbrella and galoshes to go into your kitchen!!! Apparently the landlord never sealed the newly installed kitchen window. Idiot! Its april in Iowa. What do you think is going to happen. There are PUDDLES (not exagerating) in my kitchen and when i step on the rug is squirts through my toes. Two rolls of papertowels, a magazine, a box of kleanexes and some stuff under the sink is ruined and now in the trash, my good new bathtowels are soaking up the rain and i cannot get ahold of my landlord. I do not need a night like this!! The sink is not sealed to the counter either which is where a hole the outside is covered by plastic, thus the reason for the ants. Great. What a good start huh?? im annoyed, tired and really just wanting to watch a movie and catch up on some homework but instead Im playing "wipe the rain, change the towel, dry the towel...dont slip, swoop the standing water from the counter into the sink and rush to catch it as it runs under the sink, change the towel, dry the towels....grrr"
thanks to this they are going to have to repaint the kitchen becasue the paint is bubbling off the walls its so wet. Awesome. I also have standing water in my hard and patio and Im guessing before morning if it keeps raining it will flood in the slididng glass doors and soak my living room. im annoyed. Beyond. If you have a tenent in your home KEEP IT UP. FIX WHAT NEEDS FIXED. Make sure its liveable for crying out loud. i could scream. HE better come fix it fast!
