Things that happened yesterday/this week:
- The city decided to fix a gas leak in our driveway (that I reported over 20 years ago when we first moved in but which they ignored). They told us they would dig up and repave our driveway (which is in terrible shape, broken concrete, etc. Instead they showed up, dug holes in the yard, probably killed two flowering trees, and never touched the fucking driveway. (no, there's nothing we can do about it. Yes, we took photos.)
- Contractor came by to measure the house for the new siding and roof we need after the hailstorm. The insurance is only going to pay about 5% of the cost because the old roof and siding were past the end of their usable lifespan. (no, there's nothing we can do about it. Yes, we talked to our insurance agent.)
- Our across the street neighbors are having their house fixed too, and one of the workmen collapsed and they had to call the paramedics for him. (Probably from the heat. It was 70s and rainy in the morning then sunny and hot and about a million percent humidity in the afternoon.)
- lots of rain so the damaged roof is leaking occasionally.
- toilet spontaneously started to leak (but at least we caught that one before it destroyed the floor)
- keyboard still randomly adding spaces.
- massive Covid spike in town and state due to greedy stupid governor.
- I've done something (else) to my right arm, maybe the rotator cuff? It's better today, but I keep getting hurt doing ordinary stuff and it's driving me up the wall.
Anyway, so if I'm slow to respond to stuff, that's why.

It sounds like you’ve had a rough go of it. Hopefully soon things will get better!
