She got loads of attention from everyone and people wrote happy birthday messages on the barn announcement board. It made me so happy. I didn't get to spend as long as I wanted at the barn because I've had a tough day and it's hot outside. I made sure Sandy got the attention she deserves though and lots of treats.

My TBI symptoms are gone, thank goodness. I also was told my house insurance won't cover the foundation damage cause by a tornado spawning essentially on top of my house. The wind applied enough torque to twist my house slightly and it's beyond fucked.

I just want to get through the winter without the place falling into the ground. My dad wants to sign his place over to me when he goes to live the RV life in the spring, so if that happens, I can just sell my place to whoever the fuck will take it.

It's going to cost like over half the cost of the house to fix it. And that's only the foundation. There's a retaining wall that needs replaced, the erosion on the driveway from 10.5 inches of rain in a month needs filled on, my front porch is close to collapsing as is my patio roof, and a bunch of inside walls need fixed after the foundation gets fixed because they're cracking. Every day I notice more damage.

Thank you so much! And the ribbon is so neat, ain't it lol. I had a joint bday party with my cousin this year and we both got "birthday baddie" sashes. Mine is going to be used exclusively for critter birthdays now.

Sorry to hear about the house. Be careful and safe! I don't know if its a good idea or not but might be worth checking with an attorney, just to make sure the insurance company isn't trying to pull a fast one.

Glad you got to spend some time with Sandy even with all that on your mind. You really are a wonderful person!
