My neighbor's kitchen area caught on fire today. I busted my crazy *** in there and got their attention (they were in the back of the house). There is some bad damage in the kitchen and really bad smoke damage throughout. I say this because about 9 years ago my house burned down and smelling that smoke and feeling it on my skin was horrifying. I have been so nervous this afternoon I can hardly sit still. Oh I just am sick. I'm scared my house will burn down now. I'm putting in new smoke detectors tomorrow. They said theirs didn't go off until I was opening the door and screaming for them.
And then I finally finished my online disability application last friday and while the fire is going on, the SS office called my house several times. Of course, I'm out there in the pouring rain freaking out and didn't hear my phone. So when I come back in I call my husband to tell him about the neighbors and he said that the SS lady called him and wanted to know why I wouldn't answer the phone. SO I had to call her back. This is huge for me. I have an absolutely paralyzing phobia of talking on the phone, especially to an "authority" figure. I get up the courage to call her and the phone goes to voice mail! She never even called me back. AND today my pdoc was supposed to call me after being out of town for over a week...no call from him either. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
