I got almost 7 hours of sleep last night. Not quite in a row, but close enough. Fantastic. Now I just need to start before 4 am.
So fairly good start. And then.
I've had a project going for weeks to get all my clothes pared down, cleaned, pressed, sorted, organized. I'm down to the last 5 baskets of things to fold/iron/hang. Walk into my closet an hour ago (walk-in, with built-in shelves for hanging clothes, folded clothes, shoes, etc. - this is relevant) looking for hangers so I can deal with at least one basket today as I chip away at my project.
The 14' top-level clothes hanging shelf had pulled out of the wall and collapsed onto the floor, along with idk maybe 300* items on hangers I've spent weeks painstakingly washing, ironing, hanging, and roygbiv'ing.
* I'm your mom's age, I like clothes, I don't get rid of much, and once upon a time I had to dress up for work.
Gathered up the fallen clothes & started hauling them to another room to hang, thinking about wtf do I call for this.
While clearing out the closet I'm coming across random items on the floor that feel damp. Closer look at the wall that the shelf had been on and see it's totally bowed out, bad enough it has bowed out a (light) metal vent in the wall as well. (Couldn't see any of this previously bc clothes were in front.)
So now I'm thinking I've got a long-term and bad water leak and probably structural damage, and that this is going to involve serious construction, not just a handyman to re-install the shelf/patch the drywall. And piecing together other water-related issues over the last few years, I think this is bigger even than major damage in this one area, possibly enormous.
FUCK ME.
