of leaks and clean-up
It has been a stressful couple of days.
I woke up last weekend to the floor of my room flooded from the bathroom next door. I had to clean up all day Saturday but it didn't feel clean enough. I fell asleep to the smell of sewage water. I woke up on Sunday with one stuffed nose which had greyish green phlegm when I blew it out. I also had a headache.
My mother decided to rearrange my room so I spent all day taking everything out and we saw the massive spill beneath my bed (no wonder I felt it wasn't clean enough). Mother and my cousin rearranged the bed and the contents beneath it but they forgot to clean it. When I lay down to sleep, I insisted that it still smelled but mother denied smelling anything and told me it was just in my head.
Monday the plumber came and flushed the toilet which leaked into my room again and I had to quickly get the things out (again!) before they become inundated and I had to prevent the water from getting to the other corner of the room which had the closet because it will be too difficult to clean under there. I spent the whole day mopping and disinfecting. I took a painkiller at night but I still felt the aches in my body and I felt feverish.
Tuesday I wiped down and disinfected my bed and I was right! It was still dirty from the spill. My hands have whitened from washing them constantly. I feel that my fingertips are very smooth and the plates keep slipping when I was washing them.
At least I got to decide that some things should be thrown away (like the unused exhaust fan, intercom, and grill) that was stored beneath my bed. And I insisted that the shoes be given away because I'm not using them and someone else might use them.
I had to wait until midnight to take a bath because the plumber apparently closed the drain-out with grout+cement mixture. But the other person who uses the bathroom didn't follow instructions so the plumber repeated the procedure on Wednesday and said that the bathroom can be used on Thursday.
I'm tired. I haven't slept soundly because I worry that I'm going to wake up with the floor flooded and having to clean up everything again. I want to throw everything away but the things in my room are not all my possessions.
I still have my laptop outside of the room. I'm not comfortable setting it all up and having to leave quickly. My laundry is also outside because I think it smells. It is a heap that I have to figure out what to do because I can't rely on the bathroom being available. I'm tired.
I've looked at mobile homes/trailers and pretended I have the money to buy a new home and get away from here.
