Oh dear.
Just when you think your summer is going one way, a record rainfall comes down, the sewer system backs up and you find your house and all your belongings floating in 3 feet of nasty nasty "water".
It's been a week, and G and I are now living in a hotel and though you think the worst part is over the truth is that it is really only just beginning for us.
Between trying to figure out where to live, mourning the loss of a lot of our stuff and dealing with insurance companies-- it's all that much tougher when you are sharing one room and eating out for every meal.
I'm exhausted people.
Really exhausted.
So bear with me and wish us luck that life will get back to normal sometime soon.

Hi,
I'm a secret subscriber to your beautiful blog. I just wanted to say I'm sorry for what you're going through, and I'm sending you some peace and some luck from England!

Oh dear. I am crossing my fingers - or holding my thumb, as we say in the Netherlands - for better times.
:-S
The offer to do whatever we can still stands; just ask and we'll jump to the task. I'll happily help hack through any red tape or harass insurance companies on your behalf. Get me a pushup bra and I can be your own Ms. Erin Brockovich. Hope you and G are comfortable and that things are somewhat settling down. Love to you both!
I'm so very sorry for what you're going through...
For the past few days, my response to your situation remains the same: Holy Crap!
Boy oh boy, do I wish I could help you.
Oh my gosh, I'm sorry to hear about this! Hope you and G can get back on your feet soon! Take care.
so sorry to hear. :( I hope things get back to normal soon.
Dear Michelle, I'm so sorry to hear all this! I whole-heartedly believe better times are already on their way to you and G. In the meantime, I'm wishing you peace and patience.
Michele,
Sorry to hear about what you are going through. Good luck dealing with this crisis. I hope everything goes as smoothly as possible to bring you the normalcy of your life back promptly.
All the best,
Alexa

Oh, dear. I'm so sorry to hear about all of this. My best to you and G - for cutting through the red tape, getting back on your feet, and getting back to your lives as soon as possible...and then on to new beginnings. Hugs to you!
Hold on tight and keep your chin held high...this too will pass.

Michele-
I'm so sorry about the flood. I hope you didn't lose anything irreplaceable! I hope your life is back to normal as quickly as possible.
Very sorry to hear this - I am a constant reader, but never left a comment
wish you luck with everything, I am so so sorry
I am pulling for you here in Fredvegas. If you guys need a break, my little town is lovely this time of year. Come on down for a visit. :D
Here's to hoping everything runs smoothly.
I'm sorry, that really sucks :(
i'm really sorry to hear about this. hopefully everything will be resolved quickly.
With all the love in me and mine I wish you beautiful times from Cape Town, South Africa.
You write a lovely post and I love reading you - I miss it so much and will wait for you. Drop me a line when you are back.
I'm sooo sorry to hear about this. We just had to deal with a fire this summer, so I know how horrible this time is. But it will get better. Eventually. Take care!
You poor thing! So sorry to hear. I'm sending you the driest and cleanest of thoughts. Hang in there!
You could always come for a visit to Seattle... You know, a little sanity break:-)
Seattle has been a dream of mine (in fact, many Cape Tonians) for years. How I wish, hehehe.
In the meantime, we have your blog!
oh no! I hadn't checked in for a while, so sorry to hear about the mess! I hope things are coming along with the repairs. Will be thinking about you.
Sorry to hear about your bad luck. Life-disrupting events like that suck. Bad.
Oh Michele.. so sorry you guys have to go through such an ordeal. It's been such a rainy summer and that totally sucks that you guys have been affected by it. I hope everything smoothes over soon and that you'll be back home soon.
I hate to go all 'silver lining' on you, but sometimes something drastic happens just to create some room for something absolutely amazing to happen... I feel your pain, hope it gets better soon!!
Ali
