Life does go on good or bad

[Marthe48]

I am staying home and things have been low key. But this week, hitting some bumps.

I had to take my old cat to the vet. He has been sick, and was diagnosed with gastroenteritis. He isn't snapping out of it, but I hope by the weekend, he might be doing better.

And with all the rain, I went down to my basement for something, and have water seeping in on the side I usually don't get water. So I just moved a bunch of stuff, and used the wet-dry to pull some of the water up. I have to go out, but when I get back, I am going to try to divert some of the water in the yard to a different path. When water isn't where it is supposed to be, I hate it.

That's a big 10-4 for me too. Water wrecks things relentlessly. Drink it, take a shower with it but otherwise keep it outside. Good luck with fixing the water problem.

And of course, best wishes for Mr. Kitty.

I wish he felt better. He is trying, poor sweetie.

I hope things get better for you.

6. Thank you

I have had a long run of no negative events. I wanted to vent, and of course, came to DU

3. Here's a two-word suggestion that I learned when I lived in South Dakota: "Sump pump",

preferably with an automatic 'on' switch...

4. It looks like the downspout on that corner is clogged

On top of everything else, i had to run an errand. When I got back, I checked outside and saw the gutter was overflowing. I created a diversion and will ask my handyman to check it when he comes out.

This water is not usual. I get a little water on the far corner away from this corner, but I had some drainage put in 2 years ago, and that took care of that problem, except for times like this rain.

Thanks for the idea, appreciate it.

7. Good for you troubleshooting the downspout. You're welcome for my suggestion. Keep it in mind.
