Day by Day
Yesterday was sunny, intense on having to prepare large items for pickup, more snow, etc.
This morning we woke up to water dripping from the ceiling in GFs salon space.
Just when it looked like it might be turning sunny..
After a call to the landlords who are very good about this sort of thing, they got up there and banged for over an hour, throwing chunks of ice down onto the lawn. The roof is a flat space and with the near freezing temperatures, leaves and ice clogged up the two drains forcing the water to back up onto the roof, which built us with a sheet of ice about 6 to 8 inches thick, which then made the melt off surge above the flashing level on the roof to wall joint and allow water to leak into the structure. No way I could have climbed up there and done that in my condition, and the landlord himself is retired, so he sees he won't be able to do this kind of thing much anymore.
Because of the weather we have postponed GFs b-day visit with her grandsons. Maybe next week. Yesterday I did some work on my art project, I call it Anonymous Bosch.
On asking a friend to come help move the old freezer out of the basement, I find he is going through some relationship issues. Extenuating circumstances find him dealing with an old girlfriend who is on meds for BPD and another friend who just found out she has colon cancer and will undergo treatment. I still have to apply for the disability tax credit I just found out about last week, now that I'm off disability on retirement income. Need all the help I can get. Help vs Hope. Got chilled in the morning kerfuffle. Now nursing my face pain, making something to eat, doing laundry, needing to use the energy mat, sitting and contemplating what will be the next best thing to address. Another dull agonizing day in the neighbourhood. UGH.
Covid is the last thing on our minds.
