Double, triple, QUADRUPLE UGH!!!!!!!!!!! A long-weekend bus is so so so not ok @CheerBear - especially one that happens without you even leaving home. I so totally get the not-being-able-to-cope-with-this-right-now feeling. I can feel the big feelings around this and I so super badly wish I could buy you and your LF a house of your own. 

I see you have received lots of hugs here this evening. That's not really my thing (I know, I know, you didn't know that until right now!!!), but I am so very glad that I am right there with you. This sucks. This so so so sucks. I feel all the sick anxious feelings. I feel the it's-not-fair feelings. I feel the I-just-can't-win feelings. I feel the I-so-badly-wish-I-wasn't-so-alone-right-now feelings. 

I super hope you are sleeping now - or at least resting. We will deal with this bus the same way we deal with all our buses - moment-by-moment, together-but-not. Think of all that we have survived together but not since our oceans collided. We can handle a bit of water too. We've got this.

Ps. Did you notice that you announced you were flooded while talking about a plumbing issue? I had to think for a moment about whether the flooding was due to the big feelings or the actual literal water in your house. There is definitely something deeply ironic about being flooded by a plumbing bus!!! (Hopefully if you are crying right now, you may perhaps be having a little laugh-cry). You've definitely got this. We've got this. Perhaps the pocket crew and I can have a swim in the cupboard...
