It's over

My brother Robert was finally able to get into our condo and save what was left. After fighting with the HOA for two weeks, somebody pulled the boards off over the doors and windows and let him in.
Most of his belongings are gone. No more comic books or clothing. I lost big too. Maybe half of my collection of vintage paperbacks were ruined by water damage and black mold. Later on tonight, I'm going to ask the nurse for a pill to help me sleep. I'm pretty sure all of my Conan The Barbarian paperbacks from the 1980s are destroyed. Weird Heroes too (it was a bitch getting the who!e set), some of the early RPG tie-in novels, some Lovecraftian themed books. Now all lumps of black mold.
Most of my renfair stuff is gone too. I still have my ebony wood staff though. That thing is nearly indestructible.
My massage table appears to be okay. I doubt I'll ever use it again, but it's a nice reminder of something I accomplished.
My gaming miniatures survived (pewter you know). I can still run a game of CoC and D&D and OGRE.
But the books...
Just found out my two computers are toast. I just lost an incredible amount of furry art, photographs of my cats, Haggis pictures that were never scanned in (I had pictures of Haggis facesitting other Furry Fight Farm female regulars, including the big scaly herself). Fuck this black mold shit.

FA+

They've been giving me sleeping pills so I can sleep at night here at the rehab and deal with the tragedy.
