Heat Wave, day #6

Feb 05, 2011 20:43

I talked to an old abroad friend today, one who I haven't talked to in weeks, if not months. It was pretty fantastic to know that he hadn't really forgotten my existence.. :D we joked about just missing each other like ships in the night for a while, and it turns out he can come back to Australia sometime in April.

Cyclone Yasi: I haven't been able to contact my brother and his family since he texted me two days ago. The power lines have been down, and so have mobile phone towers. I just want to hear his voice, that's all. Little John, my nephew, took his first steps a week ago. Oh, what am I saying, I'm worrying myself sick for them.

Meanwhile, I regret that I've basically missed the Valentine challenge at mfu_yumdaily, but I really can't focus on anything. There are messages in my inbox, emails are unread, and books about the place laying half opened. I hear Telstra is hoping to fix the communication issues in QLD over the next few days; I hope they are right.
