I hope they do more than a patch, although they might have to wait until better weather to do much. Time for a vacation to Florida! I know a place.....

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Oh amyth, I hope that migraine eases up soon.

Soothing thoughts headed toward amyth's head.
Echoing what Andi said, I'm so glad you and Nora have each other, esp. with all that you both have had to deal with in NOLA this past year.
So true. It is a comfort to see Buffistas close and able to support each other.

I wish you the appropriate levels of sleep and relaxation that will allow you to have optimal strength to handle the challenges of the coming days.
Bless you, Andi.

Laura, if I had a teleporter, I'd be with you right now!!
amyth, I send you wishes for a happier head. I just finished a multi-day migraine myself. So ugly.

The good news and the bad news are the same on this front. The rain has stopped and the temperature is the highest it has been in two weeks. (38, going up to 45) The problem is, the snow is melting and omg, one part of the ceiling looks like it is staying up via my sheer strength of will. This, in an area damaged by the 2011 earthquake.

Happy Birthday, Laura!!!
Bonny, how scary. I hope your landlord takes care of things properly and quickly.

Yes, this.
amyth, feel better.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
amyth, I hope you feel better.
bonny, I am beyond outraged on your behalf. I hope the Remorse and Responsibility Fairy cluesticks your landlord so hard he's seeing stars for a month.
Update on the kitties:
Spidey has been here for a little over a week, and he and Finn are comfortable enough with each other to play-wrestle. There's no hissing, just the occasional 'meep!' if someone bites or kicks too hard. What makes it funny is that Finn is half again as big as Spidey (14 lbs. vs. 9 lbs.) and monstrously fluffy besides. So, when Finn tackles Spidey, Spidey just sort of disappears like someone being absorbed by The Blob.

Bonnie, it's the Helix Hotel. This link [link] might be better.

Hope it doesn't come to this, Bonnie, but any of the Kimptons (of which the Helix is one) take pets. There are a bunch of them in the DC area.

Somehow I thought my bed would be spared. Nope. After tending all the leaks in three other rooms, I finally went to lay down and my pillows were soaked.
Upon turning on the light, I found that the wall above my bed is totally buckled and there is an ominous bubble over the mattress.
Pillows are in the washer and I'm deploying the hair dryer on my feather bed and wool mattress topper.
Now I'm wondering if the building isn't just going to be condemned.

In many horror movies, there's a moment when I think, "Why don't they get the hell out of there and check into a motel?" You may be approaching that moment. I know, I'd hesitate to leave my things under those circumstances. Is there someone who can keep Cagney for the day so you don't have to worry about him?
