Luckily, I live in a higher (maybe highest?) part of the city. However, I still suspect I have an appointment with the shopvac tonight. Just a damned lot of water.

Eesh, sara. I don't think we have any water left in the basement here, but the whole house feels damp.

Kate, what about crackers and mild cheese? A yogurt and a apple?

ION, Sgt. Pepper's is on Ovation right now, AISFG. Steven Martin just showed up and Donald Pleasance is wearing a toupee.

Amy, my lactose intolerance seems to have gotten worse since I got pregnant, though I've slowly been reintroducing cheese, with some success. So yogurt doesn't really appeal right now (though normally I love it and have no problems with it), but I do have an apple! Good call.

I'm at work. There was a battery short ON MY KEY REMOTE.

No big. Put new battery in. I remain cautiously optimistic.

I did cry hysterically when the car wouldn't start this morning. I'm so ashamed.

Allyson, I totally would have done the same. When I saw your post today about the car not starting my jaw literally dropped. You have been through the wringer!

ION, I am so sick of eating peanut butter & crackers & bananas for lunch, but cannot figure out anything else that sounds appealing right now, at least nothing that can be procured easily. Blah.

Oh, I remember those days. By the time Dylan was born I never wanted to look at a saltine or a banana ever again.

I remember melon being pretty easy to tolerate. Mainly when I was pregnant I wanted food I couldn't smell, so it had to be really really cold. Sushi was another good option (with cooked fish, natch), especially once I realized that pickled ginger is a preggo stomach's best friend.

Phew on an easy fix, but, straw, camel, back. I'm pretty sure a meltdown was not out of proportion. Glad it was a minor fix.

Huh, I might have to look into sushi. I generally don't eat fish, but I don't mind suspending that rule while pregnant, and have been thinking it might be a good idea to have some fish occasionally, for all the nutritional benefits. I'm not even sure I knew there was such a thing as cooked-fish sushi! Thanks for the tip.

Mostly I'm looking for fairly bland but fresh-tasting foods that won't make me too thirsty. Melon sounds really good, actually. I'm also craving avocado tacos like crazy. Thank god I can still eat avocados!

I'm so glad it happened at home. But Kristen saw it. So I'm a little humiliated.

DUDE! It's Kristen. That's family. There is no humiliation. Unconditional LOVE!
