Well day ten rolled around and just as I felt I was loosing my mind the power cam back on. I tell you for someone who hasn’t gone through this before it’s like and adrenalin rush. I was so happy I didn’t know how to act. I went from room to room turning on lights and saying “LIGHTS” while doing so. I have to tell you I don’t wish this on my worst enemy indeed. It’s was an experience as we take so much for granted and don’t realize how we have become so dependent on things that are powered by electricity. I do want to give props to all the men and women who worked so hard to get the power back on especially in the extensive area such as mine. Unless you have gone through something like this one has no idea what a person is feeling. Emotions and mental state all play a part in ones life. I’m usually a strong person but I tell you come day ten living in Houston, Texas in the middle of our summer season and reaching temperatures of ninety degrees, I’m often wondered how our ancestors did it. Well my friends one crises is over and on to another as we continue to clean up here. Since I hadn’t been able to see any news I hadn’t realized what was going on in the city. There are still lines for folks receiving REM. (Ready to Eat Meals) I have to say I tried one when on of my co worker brought one to work the other day. It wasn’t bad but not something I wouldn’t want on a regular base. Before I sign off I do want to thank all the my circle of family friends as your kind and encouraging words really helped a lot during these very difficult times, Hugs to you all. So until fingers meet keys.
