Why does it always have to happen to me?
I get all kinds of cleaning done, happily get water heating up in a pan on the stove to shower with (Yes, we still have no hot water. 10 months now...) so I won't reak of BO as we go to church, and remember that I have to see what Christmas decorations we have so I can bring them into work tomorrow. So, as the water is heating up, I go out to the laundry room to find the boxes of decorations.
First of all, one box seems to be lost. Which would be bad, except... the two boxes that I did find? Ruined. Everything except the glass ornaments and the lights (possibly) were ruined. Between water damage (how the heck did they get water damage?!), mildew or mold of some sort, and mice... almost everything is ruined.
I could have handled all of that... but when I got to the bottom of the first box, I saw a spider.
And I even could have handled that... had I been able to find the mouse advent calendar that I've had since childhood. The one that every year my mom would put a candy in each days slot, and as the mouse moved into a new day I got to eat the candy. I NEED that calendar!!!!!!!!!!! That stupid calendar is one of the few childhood things I have left that make me feel safe and comforted... I can't loose it! I really really really NEED that calendar. More than I can even understand.
So maybe the other box of decorations are in the trunk of my car (God knows what is in the trunk of my car.) or at my Mom's house... I don't know.
Life is SO unfair. I have no idea what I could even have DONE to deserve this... the laundry room evindently has a leak of some kind (leaky room number 3, sometimes 4... the bathroom leaks when it rains really hard.) , the back bedroom has leaked so badly that everything in it has a dusty whitish-green coat of mold on it, and our bedroom leaks so bad that it wakes me up when it rains outside. I can't even count how many things have been ruined in the year and a half that I've owned this house.
And all of this, every stupid rotten unfair thing, I could handle... if I could just wash it away with a good shower.

Jana - did these leaks show up when you had the house assessed before you bought it? This so sucks! I'm so sorry to hear it! I will visualize strongly your finding the other box of decorations in beautiful condition ready for the holidays. hugs. hang in there.
Oh Jana, these are all awful! I can't believe all the crap you're going through, I'm so very sorry. I hope that the bad luck cycle ends for you very soon, I truly do.
And about the brewery, I found out the brewery was haunted while on the ghost tour but you can feel it. This place is so old and rich with history, there is definitely residual energy at the very least living there.
What's up with the hot water?
Did you have a home inspection done before you purchased the house? If so, I think you need to find the guy and see where things might have went wrong. Not all banks require a home inspection, but usually people have that done before they purchase a home. That's why I asked.
Any chance of refinancing and getting a home equity loan to fix these problems? I'm wondering if your sinus/ear issues might be from the mold in yoru house? Just an idea.
Love ya!
