Not Quite Biblical: Request

greenstormSo there I was feeling sorry for myself about the breakup until I got sick, lost my voice, and came home to a piece of the ceiling fallen in with, apparently, the entire upper side of the ceiling drywall lined with black. I'm thinking mold. There was a note from our landlord saying 'my washing machine leaked, let me know if you get any water down there'. The back half of our house was flooded-- it's mostly dried now, but there's still a big hole into what appears to be a friggin' huge field of black mold. And-- I can't talk, cause I'm sick, and I'm running a bit of a fever, so I'm not entirely coherent, and I am worried about my ratties health, the cats' health, and my health. I'm also worried about moving costs and about finding a new place on a short month. I am not worried about turning in our notice a day late to the landlord, because he can just bloody well try to argue it. On the other hand, this makes both the inspection (see here, inspector, it's all black!) really easy and noninvasive, and makes the move/not move decision really easy.
I need to ask some stuff of people. Specifically I was going to call some people: CrazyChris, April, Eva, Avi, but I realise there may be other people out there willing to help me.
CrazyChris, can the cats come live at your house for a few days until the inspection, and maybe up to a month if news is bad, while we're looking? Bob will visit them constantly and provide litter care etc. They are indoor cats, and well-behaved if they have a scratching post-- well, you know all that. If you can't, I can ask my brother, so no pressure.
April, Eva, Avi, could any of you take a cage of rats, just for a couple of days? Pending inspection, could anyone take a cage of rats for a month, if this is mold? I will visit them as constantly as humanly possible, keep the cages clean, keep them fed, and if I have a key keep them watered ( I may not be able to make it out daily if the cages are in two seperate locations, but then, you guys all live pretty close to my beat, so here's hoping). No pressure, I can ask Lizzy otherwise, she'll take good care of them, she's just in New West which is far away.
No one in particular, Bob and I need somewhere to stay just like the rats and cats, same deal-- we need a few days until we get an inspector for sure, and if you've got a spare room going begging we'd love to drop some rent for it for a month if the results of the inspection are bad. We're quiet, I cook yummy food, and we won't have the menagerie with us (unless that works for you). No pressure, I can likely work something out with mom if need be, she's a bit off the beaten path though.
My email is dryadess at google dot com, my phone number is 604-767-7534, and my voice may be working by this afternoon-- it's still likely better to text message me though. I will not post Bob's number here, but will text message or email it to you if you ask.
Okay. Request out there, I think I can sleep. Work in a couple of hours. Things'll be fine.
Avi got me a copy of The One Straw Revolution and it even feels like a holy book in my hand. Exquisite timing, this will be a good time to be reading it.
