Our house flooded, the insurance won't pay for it, the city is at fault, and I have bronchitis due to allergies. Sometimes I hate living here.
Seriously, though, everyone is fine. It was a flash flood so we lost the couches and other minor furniture, but we managed to get most things up off the floor. The City of Zachary put in a new bigger drainage ditch because it was not big enough and people living near the canal (like us) were having issues. Well, they did a half-assed job and the damn thing collapsed. So in 10 mins we went from high and dry to Holy Shit, I'm turning off the generator and we've got to go. We were staying at my aunt's for the duration, but starting tonight, Mom and I will be in Zachary staying with friends cause we have to go back to work. The sad thing is, the house is unlivable because after a 10 min salvage run for work stuff my slight allergy issue went to my chest. And there it is to stay. Yeah cluster-fuck. I'm hoping, after talking to my grandfather, that we can make a case to the insurance people and they will cave. The other option is going to the city council and coughing on them and telling them if they do not want me to be coughing on them everyday till my mom finds the money to fix the floors they ruined they will find that money for her and make my house livable. That is all. I must go for I am at the grandparents house washing clothes and they are almost done.
