Thanks, everybody, for the help in lifting my spirits. I was just feeling sorry for myself, and wasn't looking at the big picture. I really am blessed, and this leak is certainly not the end of the world. There are so many others in this world who are so much worse off than me, that I really have no call to complain. Fabric will dry, and I can sew someplace else till the leaking stops...(by spring, maybe?) Anyway, thanks, everyone!! You're a blessing!!!
