{{Pix}} I know it seems like the last thing possible, but I hope you can take it easy for a couple days. Head injury and whiplash isn't something to neglect. What a mess.

There is too much dust and apparently cat fur in the carpet that is being pulled up.

I got the worst infection in my eye ever from carpet being pulled up. Avoid!!!

Thanks all. What a day! I feel okay this morning and have a noon chiro appointment, so I really think it won't be a big deal. I also have a flexoril prescription that will keep my back from seizing up (though it will make me too loopy to do much), so that's good.

I'm trying not to think too much about the massive amount of prep on our end that must happen to replace the carpet. We will need to pull everything out of this bedroom and sleep in guest room for that time period. Want to talk to T about putting down pergo (or another cheap fake wood) instead of carpet to make it match the house better and minimize my allergy issues (not to mention the inherent pet mess issues). Feh. ND is booked solid--not a single day off until some time in May, and it's not going to be the must enjoyable project to tackle solo.

I hope that she is able to turn around and get compensation from the roofers. You've mentioned before that as a landlord she is above average. The fact that she is mortified with something that someone else screwed up shows how much she cares.

That's the worst part--her dad (a retired professional roofer and another super nice person) is the one who did the work. Poor thing. T is like family to us, honestly. She's wonderful.

Ugh Pix, what a nightmare. I'm so glad you got it checked at the ER. Here's to a quick recovery.

After this coming week, I can probably find some time to come out and help a little, if it helps Pix.

TCG's car is not starting. He's been working his ass off on the house and really doesn't need this right now. Can I have some cheap fix ~ma?

Aw, crud. I'm sorry for everyone, then. It's just rotten.

ETA: vibes for TCG's car repair being simple and not spendy.

No idea what was wrong with the car. AAA was taking too long and TCG has a gig tonight. So we're calling them back tomorrow.

ION, I'm so tired that I refered to my DH as TCG in an e-mail to my mother.

Oh, dear. I'm so sorry about the car and the allergies and all the brutal hard work of the last couple of weeks, and for how bone-weary you must be by now, but this is kind of adorable.

Aw, sorry sj. Feel better!

Sean, I'm not sure how quickly this will happen, but I would be forever grateful if you could help if you're available when the time comes. Thanks so much.
