Living Reflections from a Dream

I wish this whole week was an April Fool's joke. You see, after becoming a completely pathetic person excited about mold remediation, the word came down that "the mold remediation is a big deal" and couldn't be done quiet as easily or quickly as originally thought. No, now they want to seal off the area. and no one can live during the process which will take weeks. WEEKS!

Yesterday, I got in the shower and: no hot water. No hot water. Yes, the hot water heater seems to have shit the bed. Now the big dilemna is: deal with the hot water heater now or after mold remediation (which is now scheduled to start next Thurs.) See, the laundry room is one of the rooms that is crawling with mold and think they are going to have to remove the water heater to get to the walls anyway.

Have I mentioned that the contractor who brought in the original dehumidifier scratched the marble in my entry way and according to the marble guy I talked to can't be buffed out, thus to fix this the marble will have to be ripped up and replaced. Do you realize that means dealing with yet another insurance company to get that taken care of?

Ok, and I somehow managed to break the filter to my fish tank. The water is all cloudy and I'm convinced the fish* are going to die. And even if they live.. what are you supossed to do with fish when you kicked out of your house for weeks due to mold? Move them and their assorted equipment along with you as you stay at different friends houses for a few days here and there? As far as I know, there are no kennels for fish.

And I really like to thank the woman from Home Depot who said "it's like your a tsumani victim". A. So bogus to put my problems in the same category as those poor souls and B. Not helping! Not making me feel better. No one bit.
Only to be topped by the guy who came to measure the floors who looked at the moldy walls sealed in plastic and exclaimed: wow! I can't believe they are letting you live here! Mold is a health hazard..ever hear of Legionaires Disease.
So, let me be clear: if I'm in the hospital on a ventilator in a permanent vegitative state from this mold... pull the plug! Because if become some side show issue for Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham to get worked up about, I WILL be coming back to haunt everyone who allowed that to happen. I mean this!

Clearly, I'm a woman on the edge... beware!!
