She, her parents and daughters are safe. They don't have much power where they are as the systems are being overtaxed at the time. She thinks (hopes but with a logical calculation) that her home will be safe. (This also means that hopefully Images home will be safe), her parents home should be safe, but she is worried about her center as it is not far from the lake. If you pray, please think on that. There are thousands of pounds of food in there that can be used for relief, but not if it gets wet. If you pray, please direct your energy toward those in need in the path of this storm.
Strange Days19:30 Aug 27 2008

Meeper is meeping her way across the country today to see her family for a week. It is strange that her absence in our home immediately creates a vacuum. It's a tangible feeling of empty space that the warmth of her personality and her laughter normally fills. The puppy runs to the door non-stop looking for her. I admit that sometimes I look up hopefully too even though I know its silly.
I am thankful that we have the means to allow her to visit family on a fairly regular basis, as we both have close-knit families. I don't begrudge that in the least, I just miss her, and I am aware every moment that she is gone. I know that other couples regularly separate for work reasons or even for a leisure trip. My mom goes on "girls" weekends with her buddies. My dad flies around to airshows with his pals. I always notice the first thing out of each of their mouths if I call on one of these weekends is "well, your mother is gone for the weekend" or something to that effect. So maybe it is normal that after years of being in this relationship I feel her absence accutely.
I knew a bloke named Stuart, and when his wife took off to visit family he would sneak out and eat a few hamburgers during the week. I don't really have any sneaky plans, but I noticed that I, in a strange move, drank a diet pepsi. (I don't drink caffeine and rarely drink carbonation) I am rationalizing it by saying I was too tired to make sugar-free kool-aid...but how stupid does that sound? (I just didn't have the strength to open two tiny packages and shake...) Anyway, so its been one day and my bad behavior has concluded. I am just going to try and get a lot of work done. Maybe I'll spend an afternoon or two laying around on the broken in armchairs of my favorite used bookstore. And of course, now I have to give my dog twice the hugs. *sighs* Strange days. I hope she hurry's up and has fun and comes home.

I just can't believe that this is happening all over again to New Orleans and its people. What a tragedy.

M y sister said the PD was getting the food out. I think that the minute I heard that, my whole outlook changed. I'm so much more peaceful now. And who says prayer doesn't work? This storm was to be "The Storm of the Century." Thank you all for prayers, so very very much. I believe in them with all my heart.
I don't know much, but Slidell had a few tornadoes. That's where Images' home is. Mine is in Mandeville...we seem to be ok, with storm surges much snmaller than expected. There's internet here...rain
