In other words....just my opinion...I think you're right to just be compassionate towards others and know that you are doing your part  Hugs ~whimsy ps....I do hope that those around you wake up soon and change their ways. |
I've been think this over and over and over. I guess the people I expected compassion from didn't know how bad of a situation the flood created. They would have no way of know how awful the basement was BEFORE the flood, thus they would never imagine the debris left AFTER the flood.
I still have boxes and boxes of files I must try to salvage info from, not to mention the stuff that still needs to be removed before the place can be renovated. I talked to the service people today. They will be coming to start work on Monday. I've got a lot to do between now and then...
Also, no one knows how "paranoid" my husband seems to be about anyone seeing the mess -- or how he is unable to help me (I guess because of his OCD...)
I will be glad when all of this is over so I can let go of it and get on with my life!
