"The reading was fine, but I came home to a hole in my ceiling in the office - all the snow on the roof is melting and draining into my apartment. The ceiling is falling down. I have to turn the baseboard heaters off because it's electric, and connected to all the rooms, including the office. It's freezing in here. The super says he can't fix it until ALL the snow and ice are gone. That means January. Or February. I missed being on the radio show. Sorry to be so terse, but I haven't slept all night, and I'm numb."

rosefox made me a beautiful necklace - little silver and black hearts on a silver chain with amber beads. There's a letter on each heart, and together they spell: TOP BITCH. Fuck yeah. I put it on last night, and haven't taken it off yet. I'll post a picture of it when I can focus.- Location:kitchen

Marine Autumn
I owe you marine autumn
With darkness at its roots
and fog like a grape
and the graceful sun of the country;
and the silent space
in which sorrows lose themselves
and only the bright crown
of joy comes to the surface.
--Pablo Neruda.

(Love the necklace. Yes. Wear it as a talisman.)
No doubt you can live through it.
Consider moving someplace else when you have the $$$?
You absolutely CAN do something.
First of all, call 311 and complain that you have an unlivable situation--that you need to be connected to the Housing dept (or look it up in the phone book). Housing complaints. You do NOT have to pay rent for such living conditions. Really--you do not have to put up with this shit.
And if you're at all worried about missing the radio show, just shoot Jim an email and explain what happened. He's a nice guy and will understand.
The best part of the story is that the guy the landlord hired to fix the roof is named Jesus, pronounced just like the Savior. So now Kristin is waiting around for Jesus to come back - to fix her roof.
