Went to the brewery. Thought a pipe burst. Water every where. Not in the worst places though. Mopped up as much as we could. Put buckets under all the drips. Z goes into the attic. It’s not a burst pipe but a giant hole in the roof. Dios mio this never ends. I keep saying “lord have mercy” but no mercy comes. Proof god isn’t real I guess.
I help with the beer which is almost fun if it weren’t for the circumstance.
Go home. What we feared was true: all my fish are dead. The power never once came back on. It’d a painless death but I’m so sad. I loved those fish. The inside has frost on things. We gather what we need, mostly food. The pipe that burst must have burst outside at least.
Roads weren’t the worst but weren’t any fun either.
The city won’t acknowledge all the people dying of carbon monoxide or freezing to death. Just saying we “have” to keep people without power for the hospitals.
Grateful to still be staying with friends , warm and safe with the cats, but this is a nightmare. And people online laughing at us, laughing at our lack of infrastructure, or blaming our politics is fucked up. Red state or blue state, no one deserves this.
One day at a time.
