final post for quite a while
it's getting scarier here. my heart is pounding and body shaking. it doesn't help that i've had little sleep and am on my moon-time.
we have a bayou by our subdivision and heard that it's already risen. there is a real possibility of us flooding. i'm going to take paperwork and quilts out of my car.
we are going to shut down the computers soon.
we live in a 2 story so will move important stuff like computers and studio paperwork and a suitcase each of clothes for mom and dad upstairs.
dad suggested that mom and i go to coldspring, but mom just can't do it. can't stand the thought of leaving. i too would be more worried if we were gone. being on the road, and away from home would worry me.
i've been cooking. cooked hamburger for beef flavored rice and vermillion, and for mexican meat. later will cook chicken. that way we have a chance to eat it before it spoils (if lose power). baked cookies from frozen dough. next thing to do is fix the mexican meat sauce and put the food into tupperware.
i feel deep in my gut that our lives will be ok that we'll make it through this. but the thought of flooding and property damage, i don't like it. it scares me. i don't want it to happen. but, many ppl have had that happen and somehow 'picked up the pieces'. i just don't want to have to do that too. i'm feeling selfish.
i dont like this feeling, being scared. don't know how things are going to turn out.... but.... i'd rather be here and our family be able to protect what we can rather than not be here.
i'm scared. i don't like being scared. i don't like flooding so heavy and having heavy cramps while all this is going on. i don't like the unknown, not knowing how high the water may get and being able to protect everything. the idea of water, dirty water, entering our house makes me shudder. it's a violation, no different than if a burgler had come in to roam around and touching things, even if nothing were stolen. i know that our lives will be ok, but this is a scary situation.
i need to go and get things taken care of. i guess the next time i post will be sometime when all this mess is over. please keep us in your thoughts. thank you.
