Ok, I just managed to get access to this account again. Yay!

The reason I haven't had access is that Miriam and I just lost basically every single thing we owned here in Regina in a fire at our condo a couple days ago. Boo? That's probably the wrong word, but what do I even say?

She and I are both fine, physically. Our dog, Ella, is ok too and with us here with us. Our cat, Seregil, did not survive.

I'm still in shock and figuring out how to process this. More later.

News article (with a picture of the fire):

Also, I still don't have access to my LJ account, so I can't update folks there yet.

Oh Lord!

I'm glad you are mostly okay

[stormdog]

Thank you. We're ok, for some values of the word. Life has been a mess and I'm going to try and update here soon.

As someone who used to live in Saskatchewan, my condolences on your going through this so soon after arriving yourself.

[stormdog]

Thank you.

And that's one of the newer neighbourhoods, from plugging the address cited into Google Maps and cross-referencing with my memories and post-departure research.

(Remembering when "CTV Regina" was "CKCK-TV"...)

Holy shit. Fuck. I'm so sorry. Poor Seregil and poor you. Is there anything internet friends can do to help?

[stormdog]

Thank you so much for the offer. We're alright right now.

Oh no! *hugs hugs hugs*

I am so sorry about Seregil, but happy the rest of you are safe.

I can send you $ via interac e-transfer, if you give me the email account to use.

[stormdog]

Thank you for your thoughts, and the offer of financial help. It's very much appreciated.

We're ok right now. Life has been a mess and I'll try and update here soon.

Oh my gosh I'm so sorry for you both. Especially about Seregil. I'm sure you have insurance but I know it can take forever and it never covers everything. Do you have a PayPal or GoFundMe?

[stormdog]

Thank you for thinking of me and wanting to help.
