I'm sorry about all the wildfires you're having in the area, Astreya. Yikes, they can be so awful, even if you're not in the path (I've only ever dealt with the terrible smoke). If you could afford to move, would you? Which weather/natural disasters would you find easier to deal with? (I don't mean that flippantly, just, you know, every place has something to deal with. For instance, lots of rain doesn't bother me, but a lot of wind gets to me fast. Sorry, rain was probably not the best example there... I hope you get rain.)

Ugh! Don't you just hate when they rent an apartment still dirty?! Related (sloppy painting, though at least there there's *some* sort of effort...) but kind of funny, we had neighbors that when they moved in discovered a plastic spoon painted right onto a shelf)!) Lol.

I hope the uncertainty settles for you soon (I'm not good with it either --hear ya!) and that the wildfires abate.
