Still Here

Donna posted an inquiry earlier today to see if the internet was awake. I am. I just haven't been posting lately.

I have spent much of my time on the internet reading articles and blogs about the hurricane. I can't begin to express how sad the whole thing makes me. For selfish reasons, I am sad that our family trip (11 people from three generations) to Louisiana scheduled for the 15th through 18th has been cancelled. However, I am so happy to know that what little of my family still lives in Louisiana is safe. My cousin's cousin (from his mother's side of the family) is the only person I know that actually lives (lived) in New Orleans. She and her husband were in Dallas during the storm, but he is a doctor and went back on Tuesday of last week. I should check to see if he's still there and how he's doing.

I fell through on the August Happiness Challenge, that's for sure.
Good news today is that we're already close to the end of day #2 in the work week and I've only had to work one day. The HUSband ended up being off work yesterday too, which is unusual since he works in a restaurant that is only closed two days of the year.

Our work email and messaging tool and HRIS have all been down for the better part of the afternoon. I think it's a sign that we should all leave early. I'm outta here.....
