One more update...with feeling
Okay, things are looking up.
Sister's house being repaired, Dad's house being replaced, both are safe in temp housing (for two weeks anyway) with power, A/C, water. All the things they wanted saved are locked up in storage with climate control. Sister's kids are away with other family, safe if not happy.
Started trial with rescue dog yesterday. She's a sweetie, small and red-haired with little shedding so far. She might be a Basenji mix cause no bark and curled tail. She is in heat which is a challenge but we'll survive.
We are in for a short return of Hell Weather but fall is in the air even so. Makes dog-walking so much better.
Trips are upcoming, which is lovely if a bit stressful. I have started buying Christmas gifts.
I have not yet really dealt with the loss of my mother, although it hits me hard at times. I am letting myself take it as it comes.
All in all, not too bad!
