Thanks for checking in! Feeling exhausted and damp. This rain just never ends and I love rain and cloudy days normally but I'm OVER IT. Also people still haven't caught on to turning on their headlights and weirdly they always seem to be gray cars which is even better.
Anyway, there's some flooding on the grounds of my parents' property but the house is still dry for now. The hill that's behind their neighbors' house is definitely eroded. The next-door neighbors also have flooding, and a tree on my parents' property finally fell sometime overnight. The good news is that it didn't fall on any structures, just the wrought iron fence separating their property and the neighbors and at least the fence isn't damaged, but I'll wait to tell my parents until later tonight. But, the goats are safe and warm and so is their cat. I need things to dry out at some point this month because the poor goats need some dry ground to be able to walk on and I don't want them to get hoof rot.
I'm gonna need my parents to bring me back some good tequila or something from their vacation, this has been the most unrelaxing PTO break ever before I head back to work next week. Another week of rain in the forecast, though tomorrow should be dryer and then another storm rolling through on Saturday. Even when it stops raining, the risk of mudslides and falling trees will be there until everything eventually dries out. If the sun ever comes back out I'm going to feel blinded and have to wear sunglasses indoors to adjust.
