Rain, rain, go away

So, I came home last night from work to find a lovely puddle forming on our kitchen counter. It had been raining all day, after a couple weeks of pretty wet weather. Water was basically steaming down the wall next to the window above the kitchen sink, and then across the backsplash and down onto the counter. What a mess!

After a few calls and misdirection, we finally got a hold of the insurance company and a specialist that came out to access the damage. He set up 3 industrial strength fans and a huge dehumidifier to dry the kitchen out...but we still don't really know the extent of the damage. Someone still has to come out to look at it and then we can figure out how to fix it. In the meantime, my kitchen looks like this. You can imagine how I feel about it being in disarray.

And then I came home from the gym tonight to this lovely obstruction to our driveway... Yeah, that's our house on the left, alright. Nice.
