This is the first access I’ve had to the Internet in about a week now, except for the brief periods of time where I could check in with my phone. I’m fine and my family is fine. We still have no power, but we have a cooler and ice and a gas stove that works when we need to cook warm food. Right now I’m using the Internet connection of kind neighbors who are letting us stay with them.
In other words, we are not suffering. We are inconvenienced. I wish I was able to work and earn some money last week, but I have a place to live, all of my worldly possessions, and family and friends who are alive and healthy.
I hope the same is true for those of you who are reading this. If not, let me extend my deepest condolences for your losses.
Posting will be light until we get our power back, but I wanted to let you all know that things are mostly OK here. Thanks for reading.
