I used to live very close to Enterprise, AL. My dad was stationed at Fort Rucker, in 1982. My heart goes out to those that have lost loved ones in this outbreak ( Read more... )

Really starting to feel better. I slept like a rock last night. I did not bring my phone to work today. I feel very much like I did back on July 23rd...the dust is settling. "System Reset ( Read more... )

After a huge disaster hits, you spend some time in disbelief and denial. After awhile, reality hits and you realize you must move on, it's time to start the process of cleanup & recovery & picking up the pieces that are left. You cannot grieve forever ( Read more... )

Kind of a long day yesterday, didn't get much time to sleep after work. Had to get up at 8 am, take N and E to Kuakini for a baby checkup. M was good to go get & drop off the car for us, though I was a little tweaked that she was running late and didn't call. Anyway, drove them over there & I took a much needed nap in the car while they had ( Read more... )

Still no call from L today (though I was fairly sure it wouldn't come today, gonna have to wait awhile yet).

Car is finally fixed. Going to be about $2800. And that didn't include getting the broken door locks fixed. :( M will pick up the car tomorrow.

Pics of N and E's new baby are up @ my Yafro page.Trying my best to remain positive. ( Read more... )

N calls me at about 8 am, and pretty much begs me to allow them to stay over at my place with the baby. Apparently P doesn't have any hot water over there because there's a problem at the building, and he said his mom's b/f was being weird about watching her. I was reluctant, but it sounds like they're out of options at this point. So, for now, ( Read more... )

N invited me over to see their new 5 lb. baby girl Sunday night. First time I've ever held a newborn, less than a day old (at least what I can remember). An amazing experience ( Read more... )

Last night I made a complete ass of myself. If I'm hoping to have any chance with L, last night certainly wasn't the way to go about it. Maybe a blessing in disguise, I guess--put an end to this situation. Can't seem to keep my big mouth shut when I'm drunk or tired ( Read more... )

I think it was Tuesday night that N and I went to see “Fast & The Furious II: Tokyo Drift.” My expectations were very low, but I was pleasantly surprised. It had more substance to it than I thought it would.

L called to chat on Wednesday, around 12:25 pm. We talked for about 20 minutes. It’s always great talking to her, but yes, part of me ( Read more... )

My second and final night shift here at work. We're into the time of year where it's usually very quiet. Not a lot to talk about. I'm doing okay, I'm feeling pretty relaxed & calm early this AM. Enjoying it while it lasts. Ready to go home.

N called L Saturday night to see if she'd go out like she said she was going to (even though I already ( Read more... )
