Our weather has been so crazy. Yesterday the GR airport reached 60F! Which is normally welcomed (and extremely rare for late Dec), but when you've got 3ft of snow on the ground and it rains in addition--can you say flooding? We are currently living on an island with streams running on all sides of us..lol. They've had to close roads b/c of flooding--some with as much as 3ft of water. Now the temps dipped back below freezing, so I wonder what that's gonna do to all that water. And we have a high wind warning today with gusts up to 40mph. I can hear it blowing hard while I type.
So last night David and I had just left the store with the car full of stuff for the condo we'd just bought and were heading there to drop it off, when we hit a MASSIVE pothole that popped off two hubcaps and gave us a flat tire (and who knows what other internal damage). David managed to find the hubcaps (it was dark), and he stuck his hand in the pothole to measure it--was as deep as his wrist, so about 8in deep! While he was doing that, he saw several other cars hit it and pull off to inspect the damage. We had to get our car towed and my dad came and picked us up. It was raining pretty hard the whole time, too. On the way home we passed by the pothole again and saw a couple of cars also getting tows. We have been told that the city will probably reimburse us for the damage. *keeps fingers crossed* That's another downside to sudden heat after such cold weather--potholes!
And to add to the lovely day..lmao...we had to go to my aunt's house for a xmas gathering earlier that afternoon. This aunt is the worst housekeeper ever. Her house is so gross, I won't eat anything made in it (which is too bad b/c she's actually a good cook) b/c I don't know what's in it--usually hair, though one never knows if it's human, feline or canine hair.

When we walked in, it reaked of cat urine. It was as bad as some of the vacant foreclosures I've been in. She has a huge black lab and 5 cats and you can tell. When we got home I washed my hands twice, threw all my clothes (including my coat) into the washer and David's too. Then I took a shower to defumagate.

She gave us a huge plate of cookies she made, but I don't dare eat them.

It's really too bad, b/c she is a really nice person, and even gave me some nice gifts for the baby (although the box they came in was filthy!). I will be scouring everything before use, you can be sure.

REally, one should wear a bio-hazard suit when going into her house. I also made sure not to drink a lot before we went there b/c I did NOT want to have to use her bathroom!! I have a really funny story of when David first met her and her family that I'll share with y'all later.
