Hearing all the evacuation stuff for texas is bringing back memories. So i finally have an apartment in Austin and the hurricane is going right for it. At least this time i don't have any stuff, and i mean ANY stuff. The apartment is completely empty.
Money problems are stressing me out. I just want to be settled in my home. But that like everything else takes money. It's amazing the things your forget you have that you need. I need everything: bed, pillows, sheets, plates, furniture, bathroom soap....the list is endless.
I'm in louisiana right now. I'm going back up to Texas next week with elli to get the cable turned on and to turn in my red cross vouture. The stress and running around is getting to me. When i can get sleep i sleep forever. Today i slept over ten hours and then took a two and a half hour nap. I don't even think that it's the running around so much as the stress that wears me out. I have a nasty stress rash on my elbows that apparantly alot of people who evacuated have now developed.
I just have to keep looking at the bright side. I have an address now at a really nice apartment complex. I'm no longer homeless. Which is good because i was getting tired of filling out forms that asked for my current address and i didn't know what to put.
I miss new orleans. I miss my friends. I miss my stuff. But i'll make it through.
