Internet Fasting
Och, do you know how hard it is to live without Internet? I suddenly realize how often I satisfy my curiosity when the Internet is available...look up a map, find a definition, figure out where I've seen that actor/actress before.
Still, I feel bad about complaining. The people in Galveston still haven't been able to go home. The island won't open until Wednesday, and then they still will have to contend without electricity and in storm damaged homes with a strict 6 to 6 curfew. My sister who works on the island, doesn't expect to get back to work before next week. I'm still not working as not all of the campuses in the district have electricity, but I expect to be back before the end of the week, possibly even tomorrow.
I've been finishing quilt projects and cleaning. It has been nice to have an extended period of time to work on stuff. After I finish writing this, I'll be taking books to a used bookstore and dropping of stuff at GoodWill. If I have tomorrow off, I may even take my car in for an oil change. So you see, I'm even doing the stuff that I always mean to do and never get around to.
There is a local volunteer organization that has really made a difference in this storm. I 'm thinking that I should join up. Except that I'm entirely selfish and somewhat useless so I'm hesitating. It would be out of my comfort zone, and I like my comfort zone. Still...I'm trying to gear myself up to it.
Nothing else to say, life is pretty quiet at the moment. I hope things are going well for everyone.
