Thing We Lost in the Water...

so i have a goose neck lamp that i have always been fond of. i can put it wherever, make the neck do what i please and what not. the only problem is that it is rather top heavy. well this morning my alarm went off, i flailed about in my wake up panic mode and when i reached over to hit my alarm, i hit the lamp. and the lamp tipped over. and the lamp knocked over a glass of water, and the water went EVERYWHERE. there was like one single cup of water in there and i swear it spread like it was ocean sized. my first instinct was to immediately extract my iphone. i tossed it on the bed and rubbed it down with my comforter. most expensive item first. ugh...and then i assessed the damage.

my books. ugh...my books. i had about 5 books in the surrounding area get wet. my two most recent romance novels got the brunt of it. the one i'm finished with got its cover DRENCHED and it was already warping by the time i wiped it down. brutal. the one i'm currently reading will most likely just end up with the wavy pages i detest so much. a hard cover book about casting was pretty much relegated to the dust jacket, so that's good. and a book i borrowed from my brother (who is the only person more insane about their books than i am)got a tiny bit of water on the spine. so HOPEFULLY it dries out while i'm at work and he'll be none the wiser. because if it's visible, my guilt will force me to buy a new one :( ugh. i had THREE library books over there and none of those got wet. the wet ones had to be my personal property. grr.

my ew. :( my johnny depp/oscar issue got demolished. i haven't even finished it yet and it was just a withered, sad mess. le sigh. i hope it's at least readable when it dries.

a framed picture of my dad. i took it apart pretty immediately and wiped down the picture, which i think should be fine. fingers crossed. the cardboard backing that was behind it is all ruined though, but the frame lives to see another day.

my "night stand". my night stand is two boxes stacked on each other. one of the corners is pretty soggy so i think i might need to get rid of it and bring in another one. ugh.

once i realized my phone and the picture were fine i just got really irritated that my sleep in time was limited. so i slept in an extra 10 minutes as an eff you to the sleep gods and ended up being 5 min late to work. ha. i'm retarded.
