Waterlogged...and perturbed
Yesterday I spent my evening sitting at my sister-in-law's apartment watching her fold laundry and pack boxes. It was a super hot day, and a perfectly cloudless blue sky, so I left my moon roof open while I hung out with her.
About an hour into my visit, I glanced out the window and said "WOW, it's really pouring out there!" Then I went back to my reading and TV watching. Much later that night, I went out to my car to get it ready to load a recliner into, and I glanced at a piece of paper in my front seat and it briefly registered that it looked like it had gotten wet.
It then hit me that I had left the moon roof open, and that it had rained. Both my front seats were soaked, as were a book, a flier about a wedding rehearsal dinner that I am invited to, and the plastic tray thingy that sits between the two front seats.
Fast forward to today. I checked the weather, saw no rain in the forecast for today, so after church I left the moon roof open again, because otherwise my seats won't dry out. The wet seats will only create a sauna effect and it will just start to smell.
About an hour after I get home, my husband calls to say that it's starting to rain at his work (about 20 minutes northwest of our apartment), so I might want to go close the roof. I grab the keys to head to the parking lot....and it was already sprinkling! In fact the sidewalk was completely wet, and there was new water in my car. UGH!
At the rate I'm going, it will take a shopvac to get the water out of my seats. And since I don't have one of those, I think I'm going to have damp pants for a very long time!
