Not looking for pity. But if you are having an awful December holiday, you aren't alone. This may be a chance to unload. I'll start.

My apt was flooded with rain 4 days ago, at ground level. For 4 days, my studio apt, carpet has been soaking wet, footsteps squishing, like stepping in a puddle. Property management wont do anything, hope I can talk sense into them before the floorboards rot and cave in.

You? It's OK, you're not alone.

That supremely sucks... there's probably already mould growing. Have you thought of how electrical outlets can accidentally cause fires?

I live on an island and getting between cities is shitty if you don't have your own vehicle. The only direct options are a relatively cheap delivery van "bus" or an overpriced actual bus. It's nicer and easier to take a ferry to the mainland, bus over to another ferry terminal, take the other ferry back to the island and 'bus' from there. It costs maybe $10 more and an extra hour or so, but it's so much better then squishing into one of those vans and breathing peoples farts for six hours.

On a heavier note, my Grandma's dementia has gotten pretty bad so we can't spend the night an their home any more.
