The photo was from over a week ago. This morning when I woke up, Jack wasn't feeling well and had a low grade fever. I was supposed to go to my pottery class, so I texted Jack's other grandma to see if she could take care of him. Before I heard back from her, the condo management company that cares for my condo called to ask if I was the owner of blah, blah, blah. I am I said. There was a small flood, a water leak from the fourth floor, that had traveled all the way down to the 1st floor (my condo is on the 2nd floor). A plumber and restoration service were on their way. I called my tenant and she told me she was fine and cleaning up the water.
Then I heard from Jack's other grandma, yes, she could watch Jack while I went to class. And then a woman from the pottery class called me to say that the class had been cancelled for today because the instructor was sick.
Sigh.
Nothing earth shattering, just a lot in a short period of time, so naturally I cried. I snapped at Jack and then apologized and explained that I was feeling overwhelmed.
I took Jack to visit his grandma and drove to the other side of the city to check on the condo. There is water damage to the ceilings in the front entrance, master bedroom and bathroom, and wall damage to the master bedroom and bathroom, as well as the wall on the other side of the master bedroom.
Everything can be fixed, but it was supposed to go up for sale tomorrow. That condo has been an albatross around my neck and I just want it sold. I think that's why I cried this morning, I knew the condo would not be sold this month, like I hoped it would be. Now it will be months, but it will be sold, eventually.
My tenant is fine. She's actually moving out in three weeks, because I was selling it. None of her stuff was affected thankfully. But I did have to open up a claim with my insurance company, and I hate dealing with stuff like that.
After I left the condo, I went to the Italian Centre and bought a can of coke and a lovely pastry to eat my feelings. It helped, a little.
It could have been worse, so there's that.
Shit day is right! Sorry to hear it.
ReplyDeleteThat's such a bummer about your condo! And the day before it was to go on sale? Sonovabitch! That elephant meme is TOO funny, I must say.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a shitty day with too much juggling and most of it negative. Treating yourself to a yummy pastry is the way to go! Water leaks are the worst; there is always damage, no matter how small the leak. :(
