Just before bed we discovered some sort of water leak in the garage where we are storing our boxed belongings and furniture until we move. We don't know where the leak is. Most of our things are in there and today was about 98 degrees--so they are covered in mold:-(. I am so very upset right now. I don't know what, if anything, can be salvaged. A lot of our clothing is in there too as well as housewares. And furniture. Some of my favorite things may have to be thrown away. This is heartbreaking. I can't even reach the landlord until morning. I confided how upset I was to a friend who was so cavalier about what we're dealing with who had the nerve to say flatly to me, "Well there's nothing you can do about it." Uh, how about a little empathy? Seriously, I don't ask for much in this world. Could you muster just a smidge maybe for all the times I have held you up when you were in a bad way? Why am I always better to others than they are to me?
It's been such a tough week for me and it's only Tuesday. I'm dealing with the death of a friend, conflict with a family member, liars in home businesses, a herniated disc flare-up, and now this. I don't want to let these things get the best of me, but I fear that they are.

OK, so after some sleep and calm I can put things into perspective. I keep thinking about all of the people in Joplin suffering through unthinkable things. In light of that my own situation is very small and insignificant. My heart goes out to them and I wish them the best as the town heals.
