We are back in the hotel for a week. This time with rats AND a cat. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. The drywall is back up, kitchen cabinets are in, we picked out the new counters, tree removers are coming tomorrow ect. The floors upstairs are getting replaced this week.

And most importantly insurance is paying for most of this! I am very glad we did not need to fight them to pay for what was very needed work.

I will still likely be scarce until we’re out of the hotel. We have been *very* fortunate in that nothing happened that could not be fixed. Now that the monetary side is settled I feel much better.

This weekend we went to the zoo and a Korean supermarket. I was able to get some green tea Swiss roll cake I love and a melon bread! Very exciting. The zoo was okay but no bears *sigh* It was nice to take a break.

I know many of you have already seen this. But if you have not, one of my friends Riley actually lost their house. There is a GoFundMe set-up here. If you are able to and have not done so already please send them a couple of dollars. My past few weeks have been stressful as heck and I still have a house to come back to when this is all done.
