Although I did it several weeks ago, I didn't get to add it until today. This was a challenge at CX for the SADT. I really enjoyed doing it about my home area and journaling how I thought things would change in 10 years time.
This past week was really bad. I got sun poisoning and have been really sick. Even though I am doing much better at this time, I still tire very easily. It's all quite depressing because of all the rain we've had again. This time from the beader bands from Hurricane Rita.
Watching the coverage this morning, I am fearful for a friend of mine in Lake Charles, LA. She lost her husband this year and now she has to deal with this. Although I haven't seen her for about six years, I can't imagine her going through everything without her DH. Her brother and mother lost their homes in the NOLA area during Katrina. My prayers are with them all.
Another thing that concerns me is my friend's place in east Texas. It is right on the river and massive flooding is predicted. Then there is Katy who lives right on the ocean in west LA. There are other friends in the area of Rita, too. It can really get to me, if I let it. I keep thinking how fortunate Janna was during Katrina, but there is more flooding in NOLA. I pray her home isn't damaged further. Thankfully she has family they can stay with. Her baby was 5 days old when it hit. Her DH has had to leave the area with the college football team he helps coach. They have been seperated, but are ok.
The news channels have reported that those who aren't touched, feel PTS from it. I can understand that from having gotten through Frances and Jeanne last year. Sure, we had damage, but we didn't loose everything as some of our neighbors did.
For now, I need to close. It is really difficult to think about it all, but writing it down has helped a lot.
