Ike and the things I am tired of.

The first thing I am tired of is waiting for someone from Sta$e Fa$m to call me. I am not going to get upset or mad, I am just tired of waiting. You know the old story...just look around and you will see someone who is worse off than you. Well I can do that, I have a coworker who received major damage to his home. The shingles came off of his roof and he got a ton of water damage. Every where the water came in there is issues with mold, caved in ceiling, damaged floors, cabinets and computers, etc. You name it and it was damaged. He is STILL waiting on someone from SF to call him. If it were me, I would not be sitting and waiting, I would be raising all kinds of trouble. Well I have to admit that we are certainly blessed with little to no damage. I won't be making any kind of a fuss.

I am tired of hearing people telling their bigger than life stories of the storm. I am sorry, but my patience is a little worn. I wish EVERYONE would understand that we were very blessed in South East Texas. This storm could have been much much worse. It made landfall as a Category 1 storm. Granted the storm was huge and that made for alot of wind for a long time. Two or three hours of 60 to 80 mph of wind can do alot of damage. But come on people, the storm could have been a Catagory 3 or 4. The would be twice the wind speed. If that had happend, I don't think we would be able to reconzice SE Texas. A local energy company, Cent$rPo$int, issued a statement that this area came within 3% of having a total grid failure that would have taken months to restore. WHAT?!?!? This was a wake-up call. I hope everyone pays attention to it and will take the steps to get prepared for the "Big One".

I know that alot of people got alot damage and are suffering. But it's all just "things". As long as we are alive and did not have any loved ones that died, we should be thankful.

Sorry about the preaching...you have to consider where I work and who I work with.

Love and Peace!

PS...I am working on a post about consequences and those that do not think about the consequences of their actions.

PPSS...Have I ever mentioned how much I love MSH? Well let me tell you....I love love love MSH and am totally blessed to be his MDB! I pinch myself hourly just to make sure that I am not dreaming. We both know that this is not something to take lightly and that our past is what made us who we are today. Which is perfect for each other!!
