Back Home

I'm back at home and glad of it...even if I don't have power (thanfully, we have a generator...no AC though). I went back to work today and tried to sort things out. I think this tragedy will rob my mind and sanity all together for a few more days. All I was dealing with regarded Hurricane Katrina. I think tomorrow I'm going to go out of my way to find something uplifting, if not just plain funny, to post to lift everyone's spirits.

I've only been down a few times in my life...and this is turning into one of them. I've got to stay away from the tv...don't want to see any more of it. I've been to N.O. and know what's gone...know about how many people there were very poor...and know the people are suffering an unimaginable tragedy.

This is 9/11 all over again...without the terrorism.

That said, I worked two 18 hour shifts...and the other two were well over 10-12 hour shifts...if that tells you how my weekend (weekend lost I should say) and early week went. I drove home after one of those 18 hour shifts, with 30 minutes of sleep, and having worked about 4 hours afterwards...and waiting in line for gas for over an hour... Did I mention that 30 minutes I slept was on the floor at the station?? Geez! I'm not doing jack squat this weekend...and will take my Labor Day next weekend! I think I'll go see a movie!
