Trust me, I get it.  Your home is supposed to be your safe place and it can really mess with you when your home doesn't feel like home due to a disaster.  We went through that when our basement flooded several years ago.  We are also kind of dealing with it now on some level.  I hope they have a crew that gets things taken care of in a speedy manner.

Shit I’ve missed the house saga and got up to speed over the last few minutes. That’s such horse shit dude! I’m going to sadly have to keep that in mind for my wife and I in the future. Get the damn info and double check it with the unit they are installing! Then the pipes on top of it all, I sometimes feel like if I didn’t have bad luck I’d have no luck at all lol. 

I hope all of that gets sorted out soon and there’s no other snafus that come up, you certainly don’t need any additional stress and getting back to your normal writing is certainly more important in stressful times! 

> as they don't really understand what is going on in my head, nor what will help me balance. 

Haha. It must be interesting to see you telling them so many things and they can't put an anchor on where to capture and where to begin. I have seen this case around me. I can say people end up having to juggle a lot of thoughts that we tell them.

Oh no. I leave Hive for a week and your water pipes blow up?! Sorry to hear that buddy. I hope your unexpected hotel stay ends sooner than later!

> I will be working from the local library in the meantime.

How collegiate! I'll bet European libraries are much more conducive to getting work done than library facilities here. As things move from paper to the internet, libraries here are getting left in the past (along with the funding).

You are saying damn right I spent my school life in boarding and at that age I realized that home is just home it's my comfort zone with my homies. We can't find it's substitute anywhere else. Home is a feeling in short. 

>Tomorrow morning we will be out of the hotel, but we don't know where we are going to be going yet.

Meanwhile I am sad that my hive value today dropped by a few hundreds(?). It is good to only have first world problems... I hope that your house will be livable again soon.

The universe provides adventure even when you don't want it, eh?

I hope you find space. And time. It sounds like you really need it.

I don't know what happened... I think I need to read some of your previous posts... anyway, whatever happened, I hope things will go back to normal for you... 

Jesus! What a development  since  I last checked your blog. Last time  the service  guys were supposed  to come "tomorrow " and now you're in a hotel not knowing  where you'll  be sleeping  tomorrow  night. That really  sucks when you have a family  and work  to think about.

Hope they sort out all this madness very  soon

> The timing of the house issues really couldn't have been worse, though I suspect there isn't an overly good time for it ever to happen. 

Since I also have to schedule some work on the pipes and that relatively soon, I keep thinking it would be best if I postpone it till summer. And at first I thought it would be the least inconvenient time if any.

Then again, if pipes were freezing to the point of cracking open during the summer...

Sorry about the pipes. Hoping all of fixed ASAP. Being away from home and a system you have created in an environment you are comfortable in is a painful experience, that needs strength to keep pushing, which is reflecting in you writing.

This has been a very frustrating ordeal, even if I was just reading it. A lot of things went wrong, and at one of the worst times to do so. I hope it gets fixed soon, and you are able to finally go back to the comfort of your own home.

How difficult it must be, for your entire family to have suddenly had to leave your home! Did that disorient your thinking? 

I have found that, although Airbnb's seem expensive, they are about the same price as hotels, with more privacy, more space, much more comfort, and are ultimately cheaper than hotels because you can prepare your own food rather than eating out, a big reason they are more comfortable. Most of them have great wifi, and many have dedicated work spaces. 

I hope you get back home, to a warm house with functioning water pipes, very soon. 

I remember when you complained about the pipe. I was thinking they would have fixed it since then…

I think that's why a lot of people believe that they must have been seriously evil in a past life as they're decent to good people but bad things just won't stop happening to them.  Do you remember being seriously evil in a past life by any chance? D:

Hope the house stuff doesn't take too long to fix x_x

I wonder why it has taken that long to fix it. A very technical issue? Lack of craft?

Oh man that sucks!  I am just catching up after a few days of work killing my curation time. I will head back and get the details but it seems you are a little in limbo now. 

Strange thing is I am experiencing something similar. Not roof over head type stuff but the engine in our car died.  We do have another one but being down to 1 car with 2 working people and 2 teenagers is enough of a shake up for me. 

What is getting my brain going as well is wondering whether or not the warranty will cover it, I have to drop 5 grand on a new engine, or we will have an untradable lemon when we were driving a 10k asset just last week. Other normal things going on can make it all seem like too much. 

Then, I sit there and think about how much shit I have been through, how every time it works itself out and even at the worst of it, all is manageable. 

Wish I could help out more than I can with simply my huge 100% upvote ;)  Have fun and lead the way for your family so they have fun memories of the shake up adventure.
