As requested…
Didn’t win a damn thing, in fact lost the $1,000 my sister gave me to play with. Which that’s what it was for but yeah.
The wedding was great. I am so glad I was there for that. I cried. They cried. My one issue was that though they put up a picture of my nephew’s mother who passed away and his new husband’s stepfather who passed away, they didn’t include one of my brother. I mean I know there was a problematic relationship in the last few years but I still felt the slight like a little bit of a sting.
Otherwise it was glorious.
M had to stay home to deal with the mess. And no the leak is NOT fixed. The restoration people took away everything Thursday including our dining room. Put up these huge enormous fan things that are louder than loud to apparently keep us from dying from mold exposure, who knows. They were going to test for asbestos before they did the next thing, which is literally destroying the wall and cabinets in our kitchen. We are still waiting for THAT and then allegedly the plumber comes in to fix and then someone ELSE has to fix the kitchen and then WE get to put our house back together. It’s been a NIGHTMARE.
Needless to say there will be no Thanksgiving here. This year has been…challenging.

Aw babe. Big big hugs. That does sound like a complete and utter nightmare and Iβm so so sorry.
I am so glad it was a lovely time and a wonderful wedding. Sting aside. Which hurts.
More big hugs.

Yeah the wedding really was just lovely (even if my brother is ignored as though he never existed, sigh) which I am tearing up just thinking about again, double sigh

So I’m guessing they can turn the water off JUST to the kitchen so that water is not still leaking actively? Or do you have pots and towels strategically placed around?
Ok, so if you had won a boatload of money, would your sister have expected it all in her purse since she planted the $1000 seed money? LOLOLOL It would have been worth it for the fun, I bet.
Thank you for updating us. I was hoping you were coming home to it all repaired and perfect!
Silly me.

the water feeds the entire building for several condos so it is a HUGE deal to turn off the water and certainly not for the days and days it seems to be requiring for THIS.
I was hoping that too, but alas no.
She would have let me keep the boatload had it happened π
