The News.....briefly
I'm just very very very tired. I didn't get any sleep last night and today I spent 14 hours gutting out what was left of my house. I still need to go up there in the morning and see what I can salvage out of my kitchen.
The house caught from an electrical fire.....I think because of poor wiring and too many power strips, while the city is trying to say it may have been caused by me not using my wireless router properly....like leaving it on the floor and covering it up. now why would I do that anyways? Everyone knows how anal i am about fire....I've been deathly afraid since it happened to us August 15, 1997.
Today i talked to capeco and they paid 300 dollars to my electric bill which gives me a credit for when i switch it to the new place. Tomorrow morning I speak with Red Cross about what they can do to help me seeings how I lost everything (but some clothes and my bed). And finally tomorrow afternoon, I tell the East Oregonian my story.
I just want you all to know that I am okay and I haven't returned phone calls because I'm about ready to throw that ringing thing out the window! I was on it allllllllllllllll day talking to people, answering questions, and thanking people. This has happened to me before and we all managed so I'm not scared of doing it again. I have a place already. My aunt is letting me take over Ashleah's apartment down the street and Leslie agreed that she will let me have it (since she was going to live there). Both friends and family have been very supportive and I'm sure by the end of this weekend,by the sounds of it, I'll have a full funished apartment.
my emotions are crazy and I dont want to relive this day ever again....so I'm really not going to go into detail. I haven't retreived my cross of my grandmothers but hopefully, its somewhere in the shit i salvaged. If its in the remains, its like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Its crazy....its a mess....its unrecognizable....
Anyways, Thank you to all of those who came by to see me, care for me, and help me. Without you guys, I would be in there for days. Luckily, I have about 20 minutes of work left in there so I'm happy. I stink, my clothes stink, and that oh so familiar smell keeps lingering everywhere i go.
In closing, I just want to make a personal note to myself that God is wanting me to make a new start this year. start over. I think with all the bad, there's gotta be some good coming my way.
goodnight
