After the Apartment Waterfall
Aug. 10th, 2008 03:02 pm
All in all, coming home at 1:300 AM to find a waterfall cascading down the steps from our apartment really isn't that bad as far as "coming home to find disaster" stories. It's nowhere as bad as coming home to for example meet a woman waiting for you, saying "Hi, you may not remember me it was so long ago, but this scowling teenager is your son." We're talking temporary frustration, not total rearrangement of our lives.
In fact, the apartment manager assures me on a scale of 1-10 we rank at most a three, while our neighbors below got up to about a five. They'll be out a full week, while we might be able to go back in on Wednesday, depending on how fast the concrete dries.
We are very fortunate, all things considered; though last night pushed us near the ends of our endurance, Sandpanther has offered to take us in for a couple days, and our renter's insurance should cover most of the damage. Finances will be very tight for the rest of the month, what with the convention coming up, but we're surviving.
These things happen. We just gotta remember that things will keep getting better.
