gas?

Sarah just got home, seems as though the city of Tampa is running out of gas. She had to go to 3 seperate gas stations to find some. This scares me. I work across the bridge, I buy a tank of gas every 4 days. My mom mentioned to me that we might run out of gas, what will I do? Looks like I will need to contact my boss tomorrow and see if they are willing to hook me up with a laptop if things get worst. This way I can work from home, Everything that I do is by email and computer anyways, so it makes sense. I mean I don't have a fax machine, but I typically email all the contracts anyways.

This is going to get rough.

Katrina was horrible. I wake up listening to the radio, and today was all the people and how they can't find their families. I was just crying while I was trying to put on my eye makeup. When the storm was about to hit on Monday, I was watching the news unable to go to sleep. There is nothing in this house, except for my pictures, which I really really care about. There is nothing more important than my family. I can not imagine staying because I want to keep my stuff safe. Screw stuff, I have lost someone I love, I can not and will not loss another. I talk to my mom everyday, atleast once, I can not imagine not being able to call her whenever I feel like it. I am disappointed that all the stars in Hollywood aren't running to donate money. That makes me ill. I pray that this gets fixed sooner than later. I hate the loss of history, but I hate the loss of lives more.

Work is going well, I really like it. Today I was feeling a bit overwhelmed by some things, and I voiced my confusion to my boss, and it was ok, she reassured me and I felt better about things. What the problem is is that I came into a system that has no order, so dealing with that, and also having no clue how to contract these things left me feeling totally over my head. Luckily the new contract person is like me in that everything needs to have order and a system. So I feel better about that. I feel important there, like I am helping, and I find it all so interesting. And everyone is so nice!

Mom found out that she will not be back to normal for a year. She will use a walker for a few more months, then she will have to use a cane for almost a year. She thinks that during that time her other knee will go out and she will have to redo the whole thing. I am supposed to go up there this weekend and help them clean. I hope there is gas.


I have a headache. I broke down and bought the sexy teal high heels today. I also bought an old man sweater for work, since it gets so damn cold there, and I am not allowed to wear my sweatshirts that I used to wear when it was chilly. Never go to Bond Jewlrys they took 3 weeks to fix my ring, when they said it would take 1 week. Then it could me about 1/3 of the cost of the ring to get it retipped. Then I come today to pick it up, and they made me wait 30 minutes before they helped me. I will never go there again.
