Disaster: Take 2

We have no hot water, because, well, waist-high water puts out a pilot light. Our best guess is that the washer, dryer, and stand-up freezer are dead. We know the bed, books, and about everything else is worthless. Expensive clothes lie rotting by the laundry. Who knows about the furnace. And the house stinks like paint, because any leftover cans we had in the basement are now popped open, and floating about. I said best guess, because, well, it's all started again, and we can't get into our basement to see. You know it's a bad day when the good parts include getting drugs for your bronchitis and being thankful that there's no tornado, because you don't have a freaking basement to go to.
