Not quite.
Someone else did though.
My life has gone through a lot of changes. No longer in a relationship with Tom. Tom moved out to live with new sweetie. Tom wanting us moved out by September .He's scared to live here. Has been from some time. Decided to announce it after we had already spent money for Gen Con - which wouldn't have been spent if we were moving sooner.
So..need to save money to move, find a place that can take 4 cats. Not the greatest credit score. Rent or buy?
So...changes. It's Memorial Day. Day for remembrance of those who have died for us, so that we may feel safe and protected. A day to spend with family and friends.And barbeques....
Well, kinda. Not this year. Bruce and I will most likely do some grilling tomorrow. Its supposed to be traditional, just without family. We just won't use the new charcoal....
... that's me trying to be funny. Someone set the shed behind our house on fire. I had been outside 30-45 minutes prior, reading under a tree. Bruce smells smoke, thinking I lit some incense or something - which I had not. Then it sunk in that this was not a bbq smell. I look outside and see billowing smoke from behind the house. 911 was already called by a neighbor. Got Bruce to move the car. Found the cat carriers - the flames were leaping and I was afraid they would reach the oak by the house, and move to the house. 2 cats to a carrier. Nyara and Reinheart were easy. Desi and Lasombre were not. Desi did not want to stay in a carrier. We finaly got them in with no blood lost and left them on the porch in case we needed to leave the house.
The fire is out. There was mostly junk in that shed - stuff to go to Junk Day - old dishwasher, toilet, couch, grill, bike, pushmower (unpowered), bunny cage... Apparently right after ours, someone set one up the road from us as well. The arson detective asked for my information and I told him all that I knew of.
I guess this is another sign to move. More parking for whoever moves here. It took Tom about 30 minutes or so to get here. He spoke to the arson detective and the fireman, and left after the fire was out, because Tom had a migrane. We were going to have a game but one person would be late, one just had a baby, and Tom had a migrane. And this had us a bit unsettled.
Its a mass of charcoal out there. My lemon balm is gone, my peace shattered a little more.
life,
fire,
