What doesn't kill you makes you...? UPDATE!! Post #41

Ah how scary!! I'm so thankful that you are safe and unharmed, as well as Alica, Mufasa, and your geckos. That's really awesome that you were able to maintain calm (gee I know I couldn't!), and help others around you in need- that's very special. I will keep you in my prayers so that the right living situations come soon.
Are any of your neighbors hurt?

I'm glad to hear you, your pets, and your things are all ok.

This is one of the reasons I don't like apt. complexes, I can be safe with things, but I can't be sure neighbors are.

I can say this since you guys are all ok, but I've always thought that if my house ever caught on fire, I'd be shooting pix of it too. lol

Kay, I am so sorry to hear about this dreadful fire. I am so glad you and pets are OK though, that's one good thing that came out of this.

Oh man that's so scary!! I'm glad you and the pups are okay! Good job at keeping your cool and helping everyone out.

I am SO glad you and your furkids are safe! *HUGS* to you...I'm praying you get past this quickly.

Thank you all for your support.

Today I'm feeling completely worthless but I'm hoping that goes away. I need to find myself a home and soon, hopefully.

Don't get me wrong. I love my parents. I LOVE my parents. I love their home. But it's THEIR home, not mine. I grew up here, it was my home, but I never wanted to have to move back in with my parents and sleep on their couch. I just don't want to be a burden to them. I want out. I became accustomed to having a place to myself and I LOVED it. My things are all scattered amongst their home and the storage unit. I just want everything back together in life. I feel lost.


I have an 'appointment' tomorrow to check out a duplex that my brother's landlord has up for rent. He's willing to take the security deposit in payments and work with me. So, hopefully it's in a nice area and not a dump because I don't have any other ideas as to where to go and cannot afford much.


The part that has me most upset is the fact that I was struggling already and I had plans to get my crap together, figure out finances, getting my apartment cleaned up and more organized, etc. I had just begun this process a few days prior to the fire and was so proud of myself for doing so.


Some moments I look at this situation in a good way, a new journey... but today is just a downer. I haven't eaten today just because my nerves are a wreck and I have a terrible cold. Sorry, I'm just rambling now. Thank you all again for listening.

That is very scary, good thing you kept your head and did not panic.
I am so glad you and the fur kids are safe. Good luck with the Duplex
tomorrow and take care of yourself. That is a nasty cold that is going around.

You've been through a huge shock, no wonder you are so upset...your things are scattered all over, and so are you. {{{hugs}}}

Perhaps there might be some restitution for the renters who lost their home in the fire? Take care of yourself first, and then see what is happening in that regard.

Try a bit of soup or something, hon - slumping blood sugars can drag down a real downer.
