beansideYesterday was a day, y'all. After my hour long odyssey with the gas company, they promptly called my sister back to schedule. She was all ready to schedule with them, and then, they dropped another bomb. They insist that the basement be professionally cleaned post flood. Never once have they mentioned this in the year and a half we've been trying to get this straightened out. Not when we submitted the original paperwork, not when they told us we needed a pressure check, not when I was on the phone with them for an hour. Apparently, us cleaning the basement is not acceptable. This is utter bullshit, and another hoop they want us to jump through. So, I will be reaching out to ServPro, and seeing what they can do. Jess and I may end up staying in a hotel while they're cleaning the areas adjacent to our room, which is just awesome.
My father thinks they're doing this because we didn't use them for the gas lines or the furnace replacement. I don't know about that. I just think it's another poor tax. We were too poor to get the shit fixed in time for them to do it right away because we had no money, so now we are going to be paying til the end of time. It's shitty and I hate having someone else in my house. Our house is a mess. You have four people of varying disability levels living here, and two of the people are pack rats. The flood was only one of many problems. I'm ashamed to have people in it.
I pushed down my anxiety all day, because Jess was freaked out, so of course, it came roaring back the moment I tried to go to sleep, and I was up most of the night. I ended up listening to the audiobook of Courtney Milan's "The Duke Who Didn't," because I wanted a nice low stakes book that I'd already read. I got about two thirds of the way through the book before I calmed down enough to sleep. I am a zombie today.
Today, work, and then cleaning the car some more. I'd like to get the back seat done tonight, so we only have the trunk to do on Friday, but I'm not sure that's going to happen. It's much worse than I thought it was, and I'm ashamed it got so bad, and ashamed that Jess has to help me deal with it.
The cat has been particularly scream-y this morning. Turned out the food from yesterday wasn't good enough. He needed me to open a new can. I love my baby, but he's gotten deeply picky since we started the feeding on demand regimen. Still, he's put on a little weight, so we're going to keep it up.
Still, good weekend to come! Movie on Friday (The Hitman's Bodyguard's Wife) and IKEA foray on Saturday! It'll be tiring, but good. And hopefully, on Friday we can find time to watch the first episode of Loki.
Okay, I'm going to go drink all the coffee now. Sorry for being a bit of a downer today. Have a good Thursday!
