Yep, I think I now have a cold...great... I just took two Benadryl tabs so hopefully I'll be able to complete this post before falling asleep. ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....oh....oops.
Dave spent the day at the house cleaning up his aquarium and moving out furniture.
We got the estimate from the cleaning folks---can we say "OUTRAGEOUS"!? So, it looks as if we may be doing a good bit of it ourselves. Dave's planning a "gutting" party for Saturday.
Quite frankly, we are both extremely overwhelmed. Not sure what we're going to do. I think we are just so tired that we can't make any real decisions right now. Sure wish we had a brain between the two of us to figure this all out. We are beside ourselves in confusion.
Our neighbor has learned that it is the plantation behind us that is responsible for the overflow of water. Not sure what can be done about it. The county is still not offering any help and we still don't qualify for FEMA assistance because there aren't 100 families affected around here. We're all pretty bummed.
We need to work, but trying to get this all worked out is challenging and requires time for us to get things done. The blessing: Dave's work gave him Wednesday, today, and tomorrow off.
We really do recognize we are blessed, but now we are feeling the real affects of this emotional roller coaster. And, we're just plain tuckered out. I bet I could sleep 12 hrs straight if I were given the chance.
Tomorrow Dave will work at the house and I'll head in to work (I'm pretty much out of PTO now).
Well, that's about it. Again, thanks for the supportive comments. We really need them now.
Despite all that is happening, we know we are blessed. This too shall pass...
Good night!
