Rumor has it the title of this thread references rain.
Today we had some weather, converting extremely muggy to submerged cars in the parking lot, recording 5.5 inches in a few hours. In my house, my A/C pulled 4 1/2 gallons of DHMO from the house air in 16 hours. I'm only using a 5 gallon bucket to collect.
... And another 2 1/2 gallons in 8 hours.

RWED is fine.
My apartment is the problem. Squished another spider on a wall a couple of nights ago. Missed another one that was a cupboard last night. Went through an entire list of housing I got from BC Housing for Vancouver that I don't fit into because: A] I don't have enough money for them, B} I have no kids or spouse, C} I am not an addict looking for housing D} I am not ethnic enough E} I'm not Canadian Indian. Oh yes, I forgot one other thing. F} My age as in I am not over 60 yet.
So that was a general statement of frustration and fed-up.
Thanks Jack. Gotta get out a do a few things in a bit.

I'm okay Sig. Just a mild bout of depression. Happens in and around anniversaries. My Blair will be gone 7years next Saturday and then my birthday is at the end of the month.
And as I told Jack. Looking for housing is hard when you don't fit into anyone's premade box.
Later Sig.
ETA That map is horrific! My poor, poor province. Least it looks like Alberta was spared.

It's a shame that disabilities don't seem to count for much in Canada. My dad was tenacious about getting my brother taken care of, but now that it's done he's in a really nice place. Granted, he never would have gotten into housing anywhere near Chicago and he had to go 200 miles south to get into a nice place. It ain't the Hotel Ritz, but it's got everything he needs and it's affordable on his SSID benefits.
I wish you were able to move to a place away from the big cities, or you knew somebody like my Dad. My mom said for years that there was nothing they could do to get my brother taken care of. It wasn't easy, and it took a couple of years, but my Dad finally did it.
I hope things improve for you soon Brenda. I wish I could offer you more than moral support. :)/:(

And there in lies the rub Jack. There is no one here who is willing to really help me. I am all on my own.

For myself, I always used to think the best things happened in summer, and the worst things happened in winter. But then I realized winter is when my mood is very low because of the short days. And because of that, my resilience to hard events is down.
Still, it took years for me to get over the death of a parent, because we were estranged for so long, and I know it grieved that parent deeply even as I received a lot of unearned hostility. I regretted I didn't make more of an effort to reach out and reconcile earlier, that I let so much mutual misunderstanding and hard feelings continue.
What I learned is that the most corrosive grief is the grief that comes with guilt and regret, no matter what the season.
But all in all, things have gotten better, even though I can feel my mood slipping a bit with the daylight. People we love pass away. Seasons change. Nobody wants it that way. It's just the way life runs.
I hope the anniversary gets easier over time Brenda.
