- Nutty family member who refused to evacuate kept calling every 20 minutes to describe his struggle sans air. My parents never turned off the phone.
- Watching my feet swell to the size of footballs on our late-night evac to Navarre Beach
- Pregnant-Palin-Palooza on CNN
- Clogged milk ducts *&$#(@ on the day of our departure. Who needs this shit when you're pregnant??? Who know it could happen with colostrum?
- Oh, maybe wondering if I'll have a home in the morning, if we'll have a new baby on a single income, if our baby layette will be a murky mess, if my hometown will be washed away. That might be a low-light.
The High-lights
- The kindness of strangers. Mr. Georgiou's generosity was a physical presence during the whole event
- Jacuzzi tubs!
- Time at the beach with my family always feels like a blessing
- Watching Ana truly swim for the first time--the width of the pool, underwater, with googles within one day
- Diving 4 feet for dive toys the next! She's got her daddy's swim genes.
- Us-90 as an evacuation route (no traffic! yay!). It still took us 7 hours for a 4 hour drive.
- Elliot spending time with his grandparents. He's got some deep love for those folks, and they really need it.
- Clams--our favorite find at the seashore
- Tita's baleadas at the beach in the morning
- Assistant Director handling all the post-storm staffing stuff!
Back to work Monday. Two weeks to Weino (I think).
