Weekend Reads: My flood
Guys. It has been A WEEK. Last Wednesday (Sept 30), my apartment flooded thanks to rain storms. Mud, water, grossness all came into my apartment through my window and the floors rippled, the cabinets were sodden with water, there was mold. I'm a homeless nomad for several weeks as the work is done to repair my apartment. I'm so lucky--none of my stuff was ruined. I could be someone in South Carolina with no home, or someone in Syria jumping into a plastic boat trying to get to safety. I'm staying with family and friends and they're so kind, helpful, and wonderful. But still... it just... sucks. So. My October has not been great so far. I'm tired, frustrated, unequipped for the weather (my clothes have been boxed up). I'm cranky, which is not like me. So here's to a long weekend where I can regroup and smile and generally compose myself. I hope you have a relaxing, composure-inducing, long weekend too!
