Flooded - slowing my writing considerably

Well, it's been a while since I've managed to write anything, even on the Whateley site - because we got a bit flooded. As in water in the house. We had co-workers swarm in to get carpet and drywall out - now it's sorting lots of stuff to see what's ruined and what can possibly be saved. I haven't looked at national news in over a week - and it seems like it's been a month! And I haven't felt like writing in over a week, even though I have 2 really interesting stories bopping about in my brain.

We stayed safe - didn't evacuate because we had supplies and were fully prepared, but living in a gutted house strewn with debris and ruined stuff is slowly getting depressing. I figure it'll be Thanksgiving (at the earliest) when life returns to something semi-normal. All in all, we got off lucky - we have flood insurance. 85% of the people who were flooded by Harvey don't. We only got a few inches (enough to ruin stuff) - others were completely submerged.

Oh, and to add to the fun, I had my rotator cuff repaired surgically 7 weeks ago, so I can't do any lifting or helping. I hate the feeling of being helpless, and yet here we are, relying on the kindness of co-workers and some strangers.
