Any reports of my demise have been unflatteringly premature [View all]

and no, I have not been sulking for the past few weeks after a majority of my fellow citizens put that back into power rather than vote for a woman.

Somebody (and a phalanx of lawyers are fighting over who) broke the main water supply into the second floor of this three story complex, draining the water sprinkler system, the heat pump distribution system, one of the main hot water boilers,and a few other smaller things, creating an ankle deep flood on the second floor which then traveled down through light fixtures, elevator shafts, and stairwells onto the first floor, taking out electrical control pnels for several systems on its way. My apartment was completely trashed. I was evacuated with only the clothes on my back, although experience with other disasters had me ignoring the command to get out, now, to grab my winter coat.

I have a bed in a room with intermittent heat and access to a bathroom and that's been it for the last 3 weeks. I eon't know if I have anything left .

I bought a cheap laptop at Wally's (yeah, I know, but don't you dare judge me until you've spent 3 weeks sleeping in your clothes) so things will look up soon, at least when the first Amazon order (yeah, I know, go to hell) comes in.

FML.

I might not be around much, the laptop's OK but not with my eyesight.
