Hello all.......

This morning at 7:30am, the building fire alarm went off and as usual I got up, got my cell phone, my apartment keys and my cane and out the door I went. Well, from the sixth floor up to the ninth floor, it was nothing but black smoke and fire. A lot of us, got out ok. The ones that had to be helped out by fireman and other rescue personnel, were helped out from their windows.

My apartment is ok, they just condemned the whole building. So, that means I'll be moving, AGAIN!!!!!! I know I didn't do anything wrong and maybe this is a definate sign that should move, but, for pete's sake!!!! This is the second time that my life has been turned upside down. I've been through worse. But I'm telling you, I'm getting sick of it.

I'm not throwing in the towel and I don't think that I will. There were a few that were injured and several had to be taken to the hospital. I'm just hoping I can go in and get some extra clothes and get on with my life, I refuse to let this stop me from doing what I need to do for myself.

I'm not giving up. I know there are those that don't like me and I know there are those that could careless about me, but guess what? I'm not going anywhere.

Thanks,

Sebastian

What a scary experience.
Did you have renters insurance, to help you recoup your losses?
So sorry about the fire, Sebastian, but glad that you're ok.

Unfortunately, saltysnack, I couldn't afford fire insurance. Nothing in my apartment was burned. I live on the opposite side of the building where the fire happened. It seems that someone was smoking in bed and they didn't make it. But I can't worry about that now, I have to be concerned about how I'm going to get things back on track. I went to my therapy appointment today, and my counselor said what I'm feeling is quite normal, the rage and the whole gamut of emotions.

I will definately pull myself back up from this. I have no choice and I know that I will.

Thanks and hugs!

Sebastian.

Sebastian, I have not been able to talk to you as much as I have enjoyed in the past as my own situation is up-side down. Know you are in my thoughts everyday and I ask that you look to this as a new adventure just as I

Thank you, Lea. I know exactly of some of your situation. I really do hope things are going well for you. If not, then you know you're in my prayers and thoughts also. I'm being given many offers of gifts from people that I hardly know, and I simply don't know what to say or to think. I'm overwhelmed at times, but I relax and let things just happen. I've accepted one generosity, and I'm afraid it's going to be like an avalanche after that.

But, where will I put all of the wonderful treasures? I guess, I'm going to be putting it all in my best friend's basement. LOL! Well, talk again soon.

Thanks and hugs!

Sebastian
