Is it 2005 again?
Tomorrow will be the 3 year anniversary of when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans.
Naturally of course, since then, there have been no real threats. Now, it's looking like once again, I'll be evacuating. Gustav is projected to be coming straight at New Orleans. JUST WONDERFUL.
I can't decide how long to put off my decision to evacuate. I'm supposed to be going with Aaron's family to Tennesee if we do. Nervous about that. They've got a dog, I've got a cat. I smell trouble.
Also, this majorly cuts into my mom's weekend. Yesterday I scheduled two massages for us, manicures, pedicures, haircuts, and all these plans to go out to breakfast and chat over coffee. I was really looking forward to a nice long 3 day weekend.
I don't want to cancel our weekend in the chance that this hurricane may fizzle out. Yet, I don't want mom to come down here and then have to mandatory evacuate and not be able to get her flight out. I don't wan to evacuate. I've got Diablo this time around and that's going to be a big pain in my butt. UGH. What to do?
I've also been extended an invite to evacuate back to Amanda and Justin's in Mobile. Would love to, but is mobile any safer in a hurricane? However, I do think Diablo would be more comfortable with another kitty friend.
I'm freaking out. Yesterday, my co-worker Jennifer and I reminisced about our last hurricane experience. It was miserable for both of us. I don't want that to happen again. I swear to god, if a hurricane fucks up my city again, I just don't know what I'll do. Honestly, I don't think I'd have it in me to start all over again.
Why'd I have to live in a bowl???
