I live here now
And still it rained. We’ve had a bucket under a leak in the kitchen for weeks now and one starting in the hall.
Saturday morning before coffee, we hear a noise. The ceiling above the stove had finally become so weak and saturated the whole panel came crashing down. Bad enough. That it fell directly onto the stove was worse. But worst of all, it brought down old insulation and the detritus of generations of rats and mice, must’ve been a layer of unimaginable filth four inches deep.
I wore a respirator to tackle it. I ain’t breathing that shit.
The rains have stopped (supposedly) but now we have to find someone to fix it. Not easy.
So I Googled SADS and VR and I live here now.
It’s a silly application that lets you walk around sunny places and interact with goofy animals that don’t acknowledge you (they missed a trick here – I can’t be the only user who pet the deer) and plant trees and whatever. It isn’t bright enough to treat real SADS, but I probably don’t have real SADS, I’m just sick of the endless wind and rain.
It’s stupid and pointless but it cheered me up no end.
