I had left my vehicle in the garage at work downtown, which was good as we had trees on top of vehicles everywhere in my neighborhood. It looked like a bomb went off. Roofs collapsed and one house was missing all of their siding and the pink insultation was sticking out. You could see straight into their living room. That's only about 1000 feet from me. I was lucky to have very minimal structural damage from what I can see.
On the flip side, that left me stranded with no way to get to my vehicle and it was 85 degrees inside my home at one point. I thought I was going to have a heat stroke. Rescued via SUV. Hopefully I'll have power restored this weekend. I just want to go home. I want to sleep in my own bed. |

I’ve done it. Not fun at all. For months actually. Lived in open air format in Hawaii with bugs galore crawling around. Don’t miss that piece!

+1 to the above. Sod doing any of that!
A single slate cracked and fell off our roof for no apparent reason the other night, and that's enough for me to deal with! |

It fell on a manhole cover, which made a loud bang/clang and woke up my 3yo son in the middle of the night. It's hectic being woken up by a crying child when it's dark. Trying to fumble to their room in the dark, in a sleepy haze and slight panic

Sit in the chair, let her exam my hair, she goes to the back and mixes the bleach, takes about an hour to put all the foils in, then another hour to process, then she rinses it, applies the toner on it, once the toner is on that has to sit for twenty minutes on my hair, then she washes it all out, she trims or cuts it, and finally she dries and styles it. It’s about a 3 hour process. Now you see why I want less maintenance….

I’m glad you’re ok! You should come out to California. You would fit right in. I’ve had a very shitty 13 days. Surgery, not fun!
