My drama

So, this past week has been pretty miserable for me. A week ago Sunday my husband and I were hanging out in our apartment and all of a sudden he hears someone say, "Oh my God," looks out, and sees that our apartment building was on FIRE! I about crapped my pants! We got the cat, the bird, wallet/purse, shoes, and car keys and that was it. The way it looked the whole building was going to burn down. Luckily for us it was only 2 apartments and a bunch with water damage for most tenants. We for the most part came out unscathed physically but I am an emotional wreck. Everything makes me jumpy and we have temporary furniture in our new apartment (we had to move out) until our stuff finally arrives tomorrow so I feel unsettled.

We lived on the left, 2nd one down

This has changed my outlook on a lot of things in life. Things that used to upset me or stress me out are far less important. All the little things that we have are only things and the friends and family we have are the most important. I am thankful for everything we have and grateful to have a wonderful support network. We also met our neighbors and everyone came together to help each other out which was awesome.

Too bad this was the first post in a couple of months. Oh well, gotta start again somewhere. Anyway, thank you to all with the well wishes. It has been greatly appreciated.
