Fire Update
Fire update: My building is totaled, and I suddenly need a new apartment! The government says my old building is condemned due to the fire that happened 3 units from my unit destroying most things, and so I will never be moving back in to it. Fortunately renters insurance I have is paying for a hotel, and a moving service is moving my recovered things to storage Wednesday. This has been nerve wracking and rough for sure, but it could be worse. At least most of my belongings survived the water and smoke damage. There is a horrible smoke and chemical smell to the apartment making moving things frustrating. I had a sprained ankle a week ago, have a childhood heart-murmur, and suffer migraines so suddenly moving large furniture is tricky for me.

Hotel Dogs
My dogs Bootsie and Bella have become hotel dogs now. They have been surprisingly well behaved in this wild adventure. I am really glad they were not burned up in the apartment building’s fire. Belongings can be replaced, but living beings can not be replaced!

Still Stuck
I am still stuck at the hotel room today. At first it was exciting, but now I just want my own food and stuff returned. I am constantly afraid if things in the room get lost or broken I will be charged a mint to replace them. What insurance will and will not “pay” for can turn sketchy. It is not like being on a voluntary vacation at all! I think an electrician who used to work at that apartment building was breaking things on purpose to make extra work for himself for profit. Things break with suspicious “frequency” in that building that seems to be lining repair workers pockets all too well. I am now in favor of moving to a new area!

The Room
One of the up-sides to the apartment building being on fire yesterday was renter’s insurance my family had on my place got me a nice hotel. I am staying there many days as the power is off in my old unit. It is so fancy the place has dishes, and a stove. I did not even know the Marriott Residence Inn was this nice. I will recommend it in the future, and will give it a good Foursquare and Yelp rating. Yet not having to flee in terror from a fire would have been better.
