welp, i get the award for the world's biggest dufus.

[mopinko]

i had a fire in my house last night. pretty big 1. AAAND i have no insurance, i may just need to sell it as is.
i’m a stupid smoker. the fire fell of a cig, into a pile of clothes. now here’s where it gets rly dumb. i thought i had snuffed it out, but i didnt.
i’d had a week of shit sleep, to the point i was stupid tired. just wanted to get to bed.
was woken up at 2am by a screaming neighbor. i’m kinda in shock. i’m fine, dogs r fine, parrots even fine.
just want to get some sleep, but cant. dealing w board up and clean up ppl.
i’m staying at my 2flat, in my short term unit. 2nd flr unit is vacant atm, and will prolly stay there for a while. my biggest problem is my dogs. they hate each other and i’d been managing them upstairs dog/ downstairs dog. i cant do that in an apt.
i need to find a temporary home for 1 of them. maybe permanent if i decide to sell the house.
add to all that back pain that refuses to go away.
jesus i’m fucked.

1. Times like these prepare us for better days.

Perhaps even the end of our current leader?
I had a short time marriage that about destroyed me. Survived it and met my angle.
Hang in there and best of luck my friend.

2. Damn mopinko, hope you can find him a good home if that is what's gonna happen......

So sorry for your predicament. 🙏🏻

[2naSalit]

3. Oh geeze!

SO sorry that happened!

Is that the house with the awesome kitchen? I hate the idea that you might not be able to stay there.

Here's hoping something works out for you so that it doesn't mean you lose your home.

[mopinko]

5. yes it is.

part of me is ready to move on, part of me can't imagine.

[2naSalit]

8. Well...

I hope for the best outcome for you! Whatever that may be!

[femmedem]

4. Gosh, that's a lot. But please be kind to yourself. You were sleep-deprived.

That doesn't make you stupid, just human.

Yes, this is a setback. A hard one. But my god, I'm glad you and your dogs and your parrot all survived.

[mopinko]

6. same.

could have been much worse.

[ProfessorGAC]

9. Wow, Mo! That's A Bummer

Hope things work out for you.

[mopinko]

10. u need a dog?

know anyone who needs a dog?

[ProfessorGAC]

11. I'll Ask Around

What kind of dog? The rescue types at the dog park will want to know.

[mopinko]

12. a half great pyrennese,

i think he’s 8. a real cupcake of a dog. 100 lbs. pretty low maintenance, except for the hair.. but at least he doesnt have the full gp coat. a bit reactive, after his bs sister’s attacks. but he is interested in other dogs. if they’re on fb, i can send a pic.

eta, shelter puppy.

if i decide to repair/stay in the house, i’ll happily keep my bully dog. love her to death, my super snuggle bug. but if i end up in an apt… i’m feeling older than i am.

15. Good luck with it all. (n/t)

[mopinko]

16. ty.

finally got a little sleep. trying to get to sleep, i keep replaying that stupid moment. finally do, then wake up an hour later.
been in shock. clean up crew cant start til tomorrow. fortunately, it’s been chilly, so the mold hasnt taken off like it wd have if it was july.

19. Those are signs of trauma and PTSD-like symptoms.

Please don't neglect yourself during all of this.

Make sure to look into doing something that will allow you time to be calm and relax.

You do you, but I can say nothing works better for myself than walking/biking through the woods.

Works every time.

17. Oh, God, Mo, I'm so sorry that happened. Fires, even small ones, can be so tricky to get completely

snuffed out. You weren't dumb. You were just exhausted and thought you'd dealt with the fire threat.

Hugs for you, and prayers that this will turn out much better than you're imagining now...

[mopinko]

18. ty.

i tell ya, i’m gonna replay that minute in my head til i die.
