I am just here for a rant about the last couple of crappy days. The last couple of days have been really crappy. I'm shielding, in a tiny flat with no garden, which was just about bearable with peace and quiet, and lots of indoor stuff to do.
Yesterday a car caught fire in the car park directly underneath our flat, so we put the cat in his box, and headed outside to wait and let the fire brigade do their thing, along with everyone else from the block. Huge clouds of black smoke, sirens and apparently half of the people in the town turned up to see what was going on. People would not stay a proper distance away, at all. We were outside for about an hour and I spent the whole time asking people to please stay away. Nobody was hurt thankfully, but one car was burnt out and a couple of others damaged.
The cat was terrified of all the noise, and shat all over his carrier and he was covered in shit himself. Stank to high heaven.
When we finally did get in we were told we couldn't use toilets, sinks or bath as the waste pipes had been damaged in the fire. This meant cleaning up a freaked out, shit covered cat with baby wipes, which was definitely every bit as fun as it sounds.
This was about 6pm. Then the drilling started for a couple of hours, but there was still no waste pipe overnight. DS had to wfh from 7pm to 7am, and the poor sod was absolutely knackered.
This morning the drilling started again, and has been going on all day. I'm completely confined to my room with the cat because the pipe runs under our flat and through part of the wall, so floors and walls are being drilled and having holes cut everywhere. This is still going on now, and poor DS is wfh from 7 to 7 again tonight. I have a bloody migraine coming on and they are still cutting holes in the wall directly outside my bedroom door.
There's no real point to this post other than me having a whinge because I am fed up with everything.
