Ok my pony family. I'm in need of some positive thoughts. This month is, for lack of a better word, whack. It's Murphy's law in our little twilight zone. Covid, fires, smoke pollution, online schooling (halp! I can't teach math that I don't understand!), the girl is sick of being stuck at home all the time, the doctor's keep pushing back my hand surgery, my pup is a trooper (though I know he's hurting), I just can't seem to manage the yard work, and then my eyesight. Last year we had to fix plumbing in my bedroom closet three times, I was chased out of the room by the moldy stench for months, now, there's water coming in under a baseboard in the spare room. My dad cut a hole in the wall, the plumbers looked at it, nothing. The water is there because invisible leprechauns brought it in. Now, I went in the hall closest (don't remember why) and there is mold everywhere. My girl's winter boots from last year are covered in what looks like white cotton candy, green moss, and the lovely black nasty. Thank goodness I found it and we got everything out of the closet. Luggage is spendy and I kept mine in there with her shoes, a folding table, all her jackets, her school bags, my backpack, and crutches. Luckily, only one pair of shoes are beyond hope. My backpack might kick the bucket, too... it's in the washer, then I'll soak, then wash again. One other pair of shoes only had a little on the toe, I'm hoping it'll wash off with detergent. Ugh, though. The closet looks like it's growing white cotton candy with black spots all across the back of the closet. So, the only working shower is on the other side of that wall. I'm not hopeful here. I was still sick from the smoke and I can still taste the mold two hours after removing everything from the closet and showering! My parents can't afford to fix this with covid hitting them so hard. I'm going to go cry myself to sleep so I can deal with my princess and school tomorrow. I honestly don't fathom how people can handle all this stuff so calmly, because I know many on here have it much worse. How do you handle it? I'm in awe of the strength of so many on here.
Send us some positive vibes/thoughts/prayers please. Moving would mean a studio apartment for us at this point. :cauldron: (out of the fires, into the moldy pan )
