Sorry to keep dumping all this on y'all, but you're a giant component of my support network and so easy to reach.
Hey, we are totally here to hear it or watch you process it out or whatever. I just hope it all ends up well. :(
Had my new roommate (who is moving in at the end of the month) come over tonight for a bit and got her a code for the door and showed her where stuff is and discussed living styles a bit more. Hoping it'll be good--I'll be gone for two weeks (in Japan!) right after she moves in, so she'll get a chance to settle in, hopefully.
Then friends came over and we had dinner and watched Great British Bake Off. But we are sad because one friend seems to be really reprioritizing us now that she's in a relationship and it makes us sad and pisses us off.

What meara said. Hoping for the best for you! It's a horrific situation.
Why not think of fire related posts as newsworthy, not venting? Inquiring minds need to know, after all.
Finally get home and my eyes are still itchy and watery.
Yeah, me too! Tears streaming at times.
Anxiously pinging Emmett every couple hours to see what the status is.
-t, we want to know how you're doing so don't consider it dumping so much as just keeping us updated.
Agreed! If you also benefit from telling us what's up, that is excellent.
Just woke up. Our neighborhood is much smokier than yesterday; even with the windows closed the smell is strong and the air feels gritty. Please, please keep checking in, -t.
I saw a few stars while out walking the dog, but it's pretty smokey out there.
In cat news, now our Coco has cancer. During his last checkup, one of his liver enzymes was up somewhat. Several tests later, it looks like his liver isn't particularly bad for a cat his age (12 next month), but there are nodules in his lungs that appear to be cancerous and also enlarged lymph nodes.
This one is hitting me hard. It isn't just that we've already lost one sister and two cats in the last 18 months. They say that sometimes you don't choose the cat -- the cat chooses you. That's what happened with Coco. We were at an adoption event when we saw a black cat in one of the cages. They opened the door, and Coco jumped in my arms. And he's been by my side ever since (except when he's caring for any kittens that happen to come in the house, or supervising workers that come in).
I'm so sorry, Fred. Coco sounds like an utter love, a true companion.
