I adore you too. I'm doing better. Dude! I lost weight from all this. Pretty cool. We don't have a lot of food but honestly I have too much flubber anyway.
I just wish there was something I could do for you :/ Has your dad or someone talked to the manager of the hotel? Maybe they'll give you a break...I mean, situations as they are and all. I don't know what you're going through, but it's all I can think of. Seriously, just try and get freebies off of everyone.
You know what sucks majorly about this whole thing? I mean, besides the death and devastation? I was going to come down there this winter. I guess I still could maybe and do volunteer stuff. I don't know what they'll be doing in December, but it just really blows. All the culture, beauty and history...I never got to see it. I just can't even think about it. Though I do imagine that the first Mardi Gras after this whole thing is going to be one hell of a party ;)
they've been so great to us. They have comp breakfast and one day they gave us free lunch and dinner. They also gave us a pretty good deal on the room and let us have 11 people in it which is against rules. We got vouchers from the salvation army for 100 dollars and the people at the store when cutting our ham cashed out the sticker with the price at 2 dollars and kept cutting. we probably got 10 dollars worth of ham. it went quickly though, 11 people and all plus my dog wouldn't eat but he actually ate that. Plus they had a room with donations today and we got a few things we'd needed (shampoo, toothpaste, a tablet to write our belongings down) and they're giving out food a month of food stamps for each member of or family tomorrow so we're going to wait in line. It'll help because if we can't work for a while when we get back home we'll at least have those. Plus they're giving us gas to go home. Houston is the NICEST city I've ever been to. The Hispanic population especially is very kind. They're going to be blessed.
It's so conflicting. On one hand, I'm upset because I know that more could be done. On the other hand, it's relieving to see that people are able to rely on the kindness of strangers. Do you know when you're going to get to go home? I'm sure you've answered these questions a million times. I'm really happy to see that you're so positive. I don't know what I would do if I were in your situation...
Poo. Though I guess you wouldn't want to be rushing back in with the state of things how they are. I guess things have just got to run their due courses.
