Days 130 & 131--A Flood of Distractions

Yesterday marked the end of our major house projects in terms of unpacking and organizing the house.  We finished up the last room in the house, which technically speaking isn't in the house--the garage.  It was a hard workday, and we crashed early.  So, today was supposed to be the start of a new era of living here and not having major projects.  Then, while we were all at a birthday party this morning for a couple of hours, our house literally flooded as a result of a faulty reverse osmosis system that was installed earlier this week.  We came home to standing water in most of the downstairs that was already ankle deep.  Needless to say, we did not spend the day focusing much on our marriage.  It was disaster mode at hour house.  Barney is stressed in a way that is very rare for him, and I am finding this whole thing hard to process at all.  Tomorrow my family is coming over for an Easter cookout (since we still have no stove and an unreliable oven), and then Monday the repairs should hopefully commence in earnest.  Until then, we are working together as a team just to survive this house at this point . . .
