Merry Monsoon Christmas

So...I don't really feel like telling the whole story right now...I'll post it later...but it turns out that it's raining in our apartment. The rain shower was contained to the kitchen last week...but gravity, doing what it does best, has spread the rain to the living room now. I'm pretty bummed. In the grand scheme of things, it's not that big of a deal...but i feel overwhelmed by all that's up in the air currently. I mean, we don't know if we're going to be able to live there while repairs are taking place...we don't know where we'll live if not...we don't know where we'll store our stuff...and I really don't want to have to be somewhere else for Christmas.

Everything each of us owns TO OUR NAME is in that apartment.

And just answer some questions that I know you're thinking:

1. No. The apartment manager cannot move us to another apartment because they're condos. Each unit is individually owned and there is no "manager".
2. We DO have renter's insurance, and that will cover any belongings that are damaged.
3. The people who own the unit above us ARE responsible for the damage to our unit, but they moved out 6 months ago when they foreclosed on their unit.
4. No. We're not going to move permanently. Our landlord has been GREAT to us, and we don't want to hang him out to dry during this difficult time. He lost his job a few weeks ago and I'm pretty sure our Rent is the only income he has right now.


Oh, and on top of all this, the pilot light for the heat keeps going out, so we don't have heat. YAY.


Merry....
Christmas.
