Remember me? (update: more bathroom news)

Wow Kirsten I thought you meant little tiny hardly visible mushrooms. And the rotted out wood...those conditions are a lot worse that what I thought you were describing. If anything like that ever surfaced in a house out here everyone would be evicted at the landlord's expense of course, and the building would be condemned until it was properly fixed and inspected by the city council.
I'm sure your health will improve after all this stuff is removed and replaced. Hopefully the fur babies will continue to be good and everything will be over with as quickly as possible.

Kirsten - your mushrooms beat mine in size and yours are prettier. lol Hopefully they'll be done soon and you'll be healthier for it when it's done. When those guys are done, if they do a good job, can you ship them over to the U.S. and have them do my basement? lol

I hope you feel better and more positive as you see the new structures taking shape. It would be so WONDERFUL if your health improved too! I feel sure it will, seeing all the crap in the walls etc!

Wow, that's real bad water damage that's been happening there. I hope those guys seal everything off so that it doesn't happen again.

Thanks for your support everyone!

I'm feeling exhausted and worn out today, it's the third day of my "isolation" in my bedroom where I'm spending my days now with Luna and Lily while the workers are doing their job.

Right now, they're setting up the new tub, and as far as I can tell, they're doing a good job. Of course, the work is not progressing as quickly as they hoped for, because there are always some complications you did not expect.

Too me, it feels like I'm already living for an eternity like this, and yet it is still the beginning, and still a long way to go. What would I give if I could take a shower! And it sucks to wash my hair or brush my teeth in the kitchen sink! Then again, I'm thinking of all these people who have lost their entire homes lately in natural disasters, like Haiti, Pakistan, or now, Indonesia, which is so much worse. But I would love to have my life back!

Day 5 of my bathroom renovation. They started to tile the walls today.

Again, I'm spending the day with Luna and Lily in the bedroom. Both of them are really good girls, they accept the unsettling situation without complaining, they're really sweet.

Kirsten, I can't remember the extent of your health issues, but if arthritis is one of them it is a documented fact that mold WILL (not might) be detrimental to your condition. I have psoriatic arthritis and it was spelled out to me in no uncertain terms that I was NOT to come near any mold. Mold is also really bad for any pulmonary issues.

I have great faith that ridding your home of this will make you feel a lot better; the kitties might feel better, too! Keep us posted.

Prayers being said for Kirsten!

You have certainly been missed, Kristen! I'm so sorry to hear that things are looking so bleak for you right now. Try to think positive, things have a way of working themselves out. As for Lily and Luna, I'm more than willing to help you out as best I can. They love you just as much as you love them...and we all know that's a lot. Feel free to pm me anytime to vent or whatever you need. I may not have the answers but I will listen.

So sorry to hear that things are not brighter for you right now, but it is said that it is darkest before the dawn. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Gosh - your photography is so awesome, it's difficult to believe that you wouldn't be able to make money with that talent. Is there someone that would sponsor you, perhaps to publish your works? It seems like such a waste that you have such a way with the camera, but you have no way to share it with the masses. I'm certain that there is a market out there just waiting to be tapped in to. I've seen photography sell for big $$$, that can't even come close to the beautiful work that you do.

Feel better, and don't lose hope.
