eclectic electric

I got a phone call the other morning from my kid telling me, in a panicked tone, that there was an electrical fire in my apartment.  I asked if everyone was okay and he said yeah.  I told him to tell me what happened.  He said the power went out and then they smelled smoke.  So, it looks like the electrical fire started the attic which is right above my ceiling. Oh boy.  It’s kind of a pain to take care of things like this when you are 8000 miles away.  He did the right thing and called the fire department and then my girl Virginia, and told her what happened and arranged for himself and his girlfriend Kaitlyn to stay there.  At least he got his priorities right.  He said the fire department did the most damage – ripping apart the ceiling and trampling on stuff  so that kind of sucks. 

So now I get to call my insurance company and see what they can do for me.  It will be the first time that I have ever had to use my renters insurance.  If you don’t have renters insurance – Get It!.  You never know what will happen or when you will need it.

It looks as though it will be weeks before the apartment is livable, so my son is looking for a new place.  This will be a good experience for him.  It’s a pain in the ass to find a new home, but I think he will rise to the challenge. 

I’ll post more about this exciting part of my life as it unfolds.  In the meantime, remember, same bat time, same bat channel.
