Catching Up and Chilling Out........

Well, it's past midnight, and I really must get to bed.  I am so glad to have this three-day weekend.  I SO need it!  I don't want to go anywhere (who can afford the gas, anyway), or do anything that I don't want to do.  I have caught up on all my email, alerts, and cleaned out some files.  Now I can go comment in some journals and catch up in mine -- tomorrow.  I'm going to clean house, mow my yard and read this weekend.

I finally broke down this evening, watching coverage of those poor people in New Orleans.  I have listened and watched all week, getting more and more depressed each minute, but not letting myself actually see too many of the pictures or clips.  I knew it would be hard for me to take.  But tonight I watched it all, and I just sat and cried.  I feel so helpless.  I can send some money and prayers, but that's all I can do.  It's so very depressing.  That's one reason I need this weekend.  When there is only so much I can do I have to keep from getting so depressed that I don't take care of my own family.  I feel like all this week I have just been operating on adreneline, pushing myself just to get through the day.  I haven't felt well, I've been overwhelmed at work and at home, and then this Katrina thing.....

So, anyway, I'll be back tomorrow, hopefully with a nice entry.  I have a funny camping story that I want to tell.  And I want to re-vamp my other site.

So bye for now.

Yes it is all so hard to take watching it and not being able to do that much. I don't think I know your other site. Looking forward to your camping story. Paula

Yes I agree with you, this is a bad situation... I caught a little bit of it on the news, but walked away. I also have a very hard time watching this stuff... I feel useless, I want to go downt here and help, but I know I can't... If the chance arose I would be done there helping out as much as I can... I hope you are feeling better... Have a wonderful day...              Jen
