Really? … and I thought 2012 was bad. My apologies, I need to rant!

So I have just hit the ground running so far this year. It’s still only January and so far, I sunk $500+ in car repairs… broken caliper, melted break lines, wheel cylinder and master cylinder all replaced, that was fun. Ein smacked his face jumping off the couch and his poor little fang is turning all grey and need to probably get that removed soon at the vet. Had a huge blow out at work so I hate that place, had a huge blow out with Shaun and now I want to smash his face in. The furnace spontaneously combusted up the other day, got that fixed but had no heat or hot water for a day and a half and now this morning the pipes burst (well, probably last night actually) from the heat being off and it being like 12 degrees lastnight. >_< Of course it's Sunday too so I can't call the insurance company till tomorrow. Probably over $10,000 in damage at least. One whole room, the entire cast iron base board just exploded! Now the room is drying out and we are seeing the real damage. Our shared hallway, all the ceilings, the walls, the floors, event he doors, all ruined. Not to mention all the furniture and stuff that was in the room. Completely destroyed! My sister is beside herself right now. So I'll explain... Everything seems okay for the night, I go to bed after getting the furnace fixed ($1000, but my sister and I split the bill) and finally have heat and hot water again. YAY! I gEt up this morning to let the dog out to go to the bathroom and I opened my door and this wave of "heat" hit me like a ton of bricks. I'm like "OMG! Is the furnace is working again and it's working AMAZING apparently?!" So I get to the front door to go outside and it is COVERED with condensation! I'm like "Ooookay.. that seems weird" (for those who don't know, I'm in a duplex/2 family style house. My sister lives downstairs, I live upstairs and we bought it together basically because we had so many animals and it's easier to afford then buying a house alone... or so we thought) So at first I am thinking she has her heat cranked because it was so cold out, but I'm feeling this tremendous heat coming from her side room that she doesn't really use too often and I'm wondering, what the hell is going on? I'm waiting and wondering at the door as I'm letting the dog do his business outside. So he's rolling around in the snow like a goof, so I run down to look at the furnace and it seems to be working fine. So I go back to see if Ein is done doing his thing and I hear water running. Just REALLY faintly, but it's definitely running water SOMEWHERE. The noise is coming from this side room that is directly underneath the room I keep all my windstones in. ( I THINK it was originally a porch, the previous owner converted into a two floor style sun room or something. Works great for keeping my Windstones in, and my sister collects KISS memorabilia and she uses the room downstairs for all her collectibles too. ) So the room is locked I am weirded out enough to knock on her door and wake her up to show her what's going on. We go in the room and OMG!! because of it being so freaking cold and the furnace being out of commission for the day, the pipes froze and the hot water exploded from the baseboard and it was like a freaking SAUNA! it looked like fire at first because the steam just poured out of the room! Stepped on the floor (it's a small step down) and *squish squish* the floor is totally saturated in water! It was so high, you almost couldn't tell it was there! Probably around 3 inches. The water literally high enough, when you stepped on the rug, it went over my shoe and poured inside of it! ALL of my sisters KISS stuff is totally ruined! I didn't even think about my room upstairs, but the steam was SO BAD all my new shelves I just put in two days ago (and old ones) are all expanded on the bottoms because they are that fiber board crap. >_< Also, it smells like mildew really bad now so I have all the windows open in there even though it is freaking freezing! I just got back from getting a dehumidifier from my neighbor and now we have that running. Now hours later, the clean up is mostly done.. at least what we can do anyway. We are now seeing the basement is totally flooded as well. If I had walked to the OTHER side of the basement when I checked the furnace, I would have seen the water running down the wall and creating a pool on the floor. My step father is going to come and help us pump it out, but what a freaking disaster X.X I just took a break for a while and wanted to vent, gripe, whine, piss and moan about it because I really just want to smash my head in a wall. I feel so bad for my sister though, she took the brunt of the damage. She had to throw away so many collectibles. The steam was so bad the paint literally peeling off a bunch of her stuff. I'm going to try and fix some of it, but all her metal lunch boxes and pictures, photos, signed artwork, all completely destroyed. I can't believe, it only took one night and all the metal tins, thermoses, and everything she had are all already rusted. Because the water was so hot too, I can already smell the mold smell that's going to be inevitable. Awesome, can't wait to breathe all that in after all the issues I have been having with breathing lately. AH!!! This year officially BLOWS!!! Sorry... I just wanted to vent. I am hoping insurance will cover most of it, but in the mean time I just don't know what else can go wrong this month? I'm afraid to even ask! 0.o The only thing is now we finally are at the point we are cracking jokes at least. This flood wasn't MY fault at least like the last one! LOL! I redid my kitchen last year and my new sink caused a debockle in the plumbing that flooded her kitchen and she had to get her floor replaced. Oh man! HAHAHA! We are terrible home owners!!! I think at this point we HAVE to laugh about it! *sigh* Okay, now that I have the feeling back in my fingers, back to help drag this stuff to the driveway! Sorry if this is a garble of sentences full of typos! LOL! I will recheck it later. ^_^
