If she gets therapy she won't be evicted, apparently.
A co-worker of mine lived below a hoarder. She was discovered when my co-worker's ceiling cracked and started to cave in. What did she hoard? Her own poop. They carried over 2400 pounds of poop she'd saved in plastic bags. What did this woman do for a living? She was a nurse. The only consequences were that she had to pay for the ceiling. My co-worker had to move and sell the condo at quite a loss, but she just couldn't live there anymore.
Sunday morning and I'm at work. Here's hoping all the contractors and insurance adjusters of the world are having a lovely, lazy Sunday where they don't want to work.

It's breezy and there's lots of rain, but I suspect Bill is going to be as lame as Vampire Bill
Skipping (my computer completely died on Thursday. Maybe now I'll be forced to find the time to get a new computer and stop relying on stolen moments from other people's computers), because, according to Kat "If the Apocalypse Comes, Beep Me" Aug 24, 2003 3:58:47 pm PDT , today is Franny's sixth birthday.
Happy birthday, Franny! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year! And, of course, lots of wishes for your mom, your brother, and all your family!
god, so disturbing.
we are off to church in 30 minutes. I have been fighting off the crankies all morning - did not sleep well. cranky me is NOT helpful to our life right now, so I am Faking it like a big fat faker politician or beauty queen.
I watched that Hoarders show -- the food hoarder was so far beyond 'denial' that it was painful.
(Yes, I know for a fact that many "best used by" dates err on the side of caution, so there's some wiggle room if you're, say, a month past on some items, but it's better to err on the side of caution WHEN SOMETHING IS TWO YEARS OUT OF DATE.)
Let me tell you, it's encouraging me to clean up some of my mild-by-comparison clutter, anyway.
Holy crap, Sparky! (No pun intended...) That's bonkers.
I am totally throwing stuff out today!
In better news: Happy birthday, Frances!!
