Six Months Later...
12 years ago
Six months to the day since Sandy went through and dumped a couple feet of water in my house. How are things?
Well I'm not home yet, but we're going to move back in soon. The house is in an... interesting state. The walls are up, but the floors aren't down. Some walls are painted, others just have primer on them. One bathroom is slightly functional, the other is currently storage. We have appliances ordered, but we haven't really touched furniture.
And we'll be moved in, most likely, by my Birthday (May 13th) no matter what, as my Sister is coming home from college the weekend of the 17th. And she's not coming back to where we're currently staying.
I'm still in my Uncle's... me, my parents, my uncle, his wife, his 3-year-old daughter, and my cat (Who turns 3 in two days). It's been... stressful. So many people living close together, sometimes I think I only managed to stay so calm by embroiling myself into the internet and the computer. Though that got a bit trickier recently, my 7-year-old laptop's HD failing in a bad way (Though still slightly functional) meaning I'm now stuck on my PC. And since I'm still sharing a room with my parents I have to put a blanket over my head whenever I go over my sites or such. Yes I'm a little paranoid there.
Still... things are progressing. Soon we'll be home again. It won't be 100% repaired, the furniture will still be mostly missing, and the doors probably won't be up yet... but I'll have my own room, and we'll be home.
