Fire update
8 years ago
Her peeps, it's been a few days so I figured it was time for an update.
Home: So far the new pace we got into is nice. There is a pool for Sera and the neighbors seem to be pretty nice. Rent is a little higher than I would like it to be but, given how quick they where able to get us into a place I can't really complain. Restocking the house is going.... Okay. There is still a lot of things to be got but the important thinks like a mattress for my daughter, clothing for her, and grocery has been covered thanks is whole thanks to everyone who donated! There is still a long way to go, the next big thing will be a mattress for deja and I so I don't feel like death every single morning, lol.
Computers: ugh... So a good chunk of our systems needed to be scrapped because of the fire. One of the motherboards was so covered in soot it was black and the other looked like part of it had over heated and sparked. We managed to clean what we could and salvage a processor, a graphics card, a monitor and the majority of our ram. We are looking into replaceing what we lost but it might be a little while before we have a single function computer again.
Tablets: so... My tablet... Bless it's beaten and burned soul seems to have survived! I won't be able to be %100 sure untill I have something to hook it up to but, at the moment it does turn on which is a good sign! My pen on the other hand did not fair as well... The nib appears to have melted into it...
Anyways I just wanted to keep everyone posted as to what was happening and thank everyone for there support and compassion. Everyone on here has been so wonderful during this shit storm!
If you would like to help feel free to hit me up with some suggestions for computer parts or you can donate to my PayPal at: lostwingsart[at]yahoo.com

They're more about gaming computers, but for something more artsy you can move a couple cases up for a cheaper GPU and toss in more RAM and disk space with the money saved
Also, you mentionned an amazon wishlist in your previous journal, care to share it so we can buy you the stuff you need?
