***hugs*** Thanks, hon. It's - I keep going back and forth on "It's silly to be fucked up, everything's fine" and "Yeah, but I woke up to big fucking flames 20 feet away."

Noah noticed the firebreak between our townhouses. Thank fuck it was that side and not the other.

We don't have an air purifier, but the smoke smell seems to be gone. I left the sliding glass door open all day, so it's a bit chilly but it smells better. Noah took the car to work so I'm kinda stuck. I was too shaky to drive him and he was late as it was. (But then, "my building was on fire" is a hell of an excuse.)

I finally took a nap, but not much of one. And downstairs, because I'm convinced that Upstairs Is Not Safe.

There are people next door cleaning up discussing things. This is how I learned that the fucker next door left a lit cigarette on his bed before apparently driving off for a bit for who-knows-what. He showed up half an hour after the fire trucks did, and it was a raging inferno at that point, so who fucking knows.

I am fighting the urge to go over there and strangle him with an electrical cord and dump the body in the basement. I am not sure many juries would convict me.
