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
