Taking on New Adventures

Less than a week after Hurricane Ida blew through New Orleans and the surrounding areas, I still haven’t fully exhaled.

We are fine. Our apartment had no damage and other than losing everything in our refrigerator due to no power, sustained no huge financial hit.

But after the year and a half we’ve had, Chuck and I were supposed to be on an 8 day vacation right now. We had planned to fly to Las Vegas from September 1-8. It was a long overdue vacation that would provide us some time to enjoy each other’s company with no work obligations, no home obligations and anything else that popped up.

Obviously that isn’t happening. But we were able to rebook for October so that gives us something to look forward to.

Other than that, it’s back to stressland. We are now 5 days into no power at our house, and were fortunate enough to be able to come to Florida for a couple of days to take a real shower, sleep in air conditioning and work on a WiFi that is fairly reliable. We’ll head back to New Orleans on Friday and see what the coming days provide for us.

We are good. Nothing better than that. And for now, that’s got to work.
