I'm packed up to leave and will be staying at Jeannie's for a couple of days at least. They have brought in a huge blower motor that needs to run for 48 hours, or MORE, to dry out the moisture inside the walls. It was much worse than they thought, and is because of a damaged waste pipe - all the waste from upstairs was seeping down and some ran into my bathroom. Yuk!!!
When it has dried sufficiently they will bring in teams from companies that will clean and sanitize the entire wall cavity, as well as my entire bathroom. One of the companies does cleaning up after fire, water damage, etc., and has lots of experience. We had such a company after our house was damaged by fire and water back in the 1980's, and I know they do a good and thorough job. They are going to test for residual mold as well, and will determine the severity of the problem. The fix will have to meet health standards. I won't be able to sleep with the noise of the blower, so they offered to pay my motel if I wanted to stay at one - I would prefer to stay at Jeannie's and the dog will be much more comfortable out in their backyard. (An added plus in Donald's cooking, plus being with my darling granddaughters.)
The management will also pay for the electricity to run this giant blower!
I hate to think of living out of a suitcase for a few days, but there isn't much choice. I should have know that the happy and joyous energy around the time of my birthday in November would only go downhill! I sure hope it is bottoming out now.
- Moving Into The Motorhome...and Supermoon Photos!
Getting Sherman all cleaned up yesterday and transferring things over because today is moving day! It's amazing how dusty it was inside after five months of sitting. Sure, we were in and out of there a few times and I did some minor work in there,...

I'm still under the influence of too much driving but I got a few things accomplished this morning. Two men came by with a big truck about 7:00 pm last night and picked up the old stove & range hood. I'm so glad to see that empty space, but now...
- Still Awaiting Test Results
I haven't any word yet on the test for Valley Fever, and I can't imagine why any test these days can't be run faster than this one. I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow, and maybe by then we will know about the blood test results....
- Back Home Tomorrow?
I stopped by my apartment this morning and found the blower gone, the wall patched up and ready to be painted, and the bad smell gone. The manager said they will replace the floor tile today and it won't take long at all to paint, so I'm hoping...

I made a quick trip back to the apartment this morning, and took Lady along so we could walk on our regular route. I took a couple of photos of the holes in the bathroom walls and the large blower that is drying (hopefully) everything out. The bathroom...
