Flood Update
It turns out the flood my apartment suffered on Tuesday was not serious at all. Teresa and my quick acting minimized the damage the water caused, and in a few hours, had managed to soak up all the water with towels (mop and bucket are now on the To Buy list).
The laptop is back, and in perfect shape. The repair cost less than the insurance deductible (not that insurance was planning to pay for it anyway...)
Our ceiling is spotted with brown stains and crisscrossed with long plaster bubbles and cracks. The building owner will be repairing it in a few weeks.
If nothing else, this episode has taught us an important lesson: wrap your valuables in water-tight plastic every night before bed.
