Lots of furniture etc gone - all my electronics/music/guitars are fine. If I decide to re-open, it's going to be a much more simple operation, and possibly not in the same location.

Todd,
I’m glad that there were some victories. I hope you get some rest.

Stay safe and dry. Other people have said it better, but that’s what matters. If you can rescue material possessions safely (sounds like you did, some), great, but taking care of yourself and your people is key. Other stuff can be sorted out after the waters recede.
And keep playing; your clips sound great. |

That's very kind of you - I need to get back at it. I've picked up the guitar for about 5 minutes since Tuesday. Last time that happened was my last vacation 10 years ago!

I've gone from playing 1 1/2 hours a day or so to not touching a guitar for 4 days while cleaning up the mess and moving things. That's gotta change...and yes - there should be a song in there somewhere.

Todd -
Man, buddy, I've been living under a rock. I vaguely recall hearing about some dams breaking somewhere, but didn't make the connection. I'm saddened to hear that your business was in the path. One can only say so much to ease the sting of these "what else can possibly happen" scenarios, but you've got a lot of friends here on the forum betting on you to make it through. Let me know if you need a friend with an SUV and a (small) trailer. It's only a 12 hour drive from Richmond. I've done enough drives to Omaha and back, that'll feel like a leisurely Sunday afternoon cruise! Glad you weren't in harms way and to hear that the guitars and a lot of your personal items were spared. Take care, friend. Austin |

When I went in yesterday it looked like a bomb had gone off - dry wall cut up 4 feet on all walls - you can see right through to two other suites and the bathrooms. Carpet is pulled up and what's left of my largest equipment covered in plastic. I'm going to take off on my bike this morning and try to clear my head. I normally only ride on the local 30 mile, one way rail trail because I can't bear the thought of being taken out by a texting driver, but unfortunately the rail trail is now compromised due to the flooding, so I'll have to find an alternate road route. Life has certainly brought me to my knees.

Todd: I'm so sorry for what you're going through. It takes me back to a time in my life when I couldn't imagine things ever getting better, but they did. I hope that you've got a personal support group to which you can reach out. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other, and you'll come out the other side...

To top things off, the last couple days it's become VERY obvious my Mom is starting to fail mentally. She's had chronic, lifelong anxiety and depression issues that are incredibly hard to deal with. Now her ability to reason at all is leaving her. Living here for 5 years with her has taken me down several notches already. Might be time to just hang up the business - I don't think I can handle it all right now.

fitness1, I'm sorry you had to go through this.
Perhaps you already know this: be careful of mold. Breathing it can cause all kinds of health problems that you don't want now. |
