Dave.. that's why I said "hopefully back to MY state of normal"

thanks Ame.. check yer inbox

well people.. these past 2 weeks have been quite interesting.. if nothing else!

as I mentioned above.. I was rushed off to the hospital in an ambulance April 16th.. it was terrifying to say the least.. I haven't been to a hospital in many years, other than for the annual blood tests or to visit/support family, friends.. thankfully! but I guess I was due..

what kills me most is NOT being listened to when it comes to what's wrong with me .. like THEY know better just cuz they have an MD after their name..

anywho.. nothings been fixed BUT.. I'm working on it!

still in a lot of pain, however this too shall pass.. of that.. I'm confident!

adding insult to injury (so ta speak).. this past Saturday, my eldest brought me some food (no energy and a wee bit too much pain to do it myself), I asked her for one more favor before she left.. take the salt down and fill my water softener.. moments later from the basement I heard "um.. Mom??" I thought OH CRAP.. NOW what? she said.. "can I borrow your billy boots'n a bathing suit?" I froze.. all I could think was.. NO! Please don't let me be flooded.. but I was.. 3" of water covered the entire basement floor.. and I broke down and .. all my construction materials, my renovations that I'd already started, and all my personal belongs are toast! then today when I spoke to my insurance agent and he told me I WASN'T cover.. I ripped him a new one! I trusted me, after 25+ years being faithful/loyal to HIM.. he let me down.. and because the insurance company had already sent a crew in yesterday to start the drainage and cleaning process.. I may well be looking at a HUGE bill that I can't afford.. I don't know what I'm going to do.. I've invested everything I had into rebuilding this home so I could leave SOMEthing of value to my kids.. now it seems it's all for nothing.. all the dreams, pain, toil, money and sweat.. washed away! and with my health being in it's current condition.. I've no clue what I'm going to do..

up side is.. I'm still breathing.. so I guess I'll figure it out somehow.. just kinda wish I didn't have to do it all alone.. but, oh well.. life goes on doesn't it!

Have you considered the gofundme.com website? People are kind and may help you out. I would look into it. That blows, Zee!

thank you! I'm looking at the website and it works for Canada too.. appreciate the info!!!

and yeah.. it does blow, big time! but that's life huh

So so sorry to hear of this! But take care of your health first.
I think you weren't meant to carry out that work, so, it took care of it by going this course. My prayers are with you that you get well soon, and the situation will also get better for you in all aspects.

While Zee is recovering, the rest of us will give the pub a good Spring cleaning, as well as complete all repair jobs, painting projects, etc.

you got it dodo let me grab my tools and i'll start on those leaky taps. keep your eye out for that box of cool looking tap handles and i'll swap out these plain janes when i'm done

the minions have been dispatched to pitch in...




take care Zee

OK........ where do we start?

oh my.. thank you ALL SOO much

and FINALLY.. some GOOD news!!

the claims adjuster just left.. and GUESS WHAT!!!


I'm COVERED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PHEW... what a reLIEF!!! well.. 20k worth. so it's a start.
my tupid broker misunderstood the situation and well.. he'll not make THAT mistake again not after he saw my wrath yesterday but there IS a silver lining.. oh my gawd I can finally SLEEP tonight.. IF the pain lets me that is

thank you ALL for your well wishes.. and thank GOD for listening.. I'm glad to see he(God) is watching over me still, and didn't abandon me when I needed him most!

the money should be enough to cover the cleaning up costs and the sanitizing of the basement.. with maybe a lil left over for some replacement of personal effects and some lost building material.. probably not enough to rebuild all the floors BUT.. that's the least of my worries.. so what if it doesn't get rebuilt.. I'll have my home back.. life is good, and now I can focus on the most important task ahead.. getting healthy!

WOOHOO!!!
