So Far...

As of to date, I am okay mentally. I am trying to hold on to whatever sanity I have left. But for the most part, I am glad I can smile and laugh everyday. Some news is good, other news is discouraging. I don't know what is left of my apartment, but I am sure it is not much. The nightmares are every night now. I wake up in the middle of the night in a frenzy. The smallest sound is waking me up again. I am trying to find the strong point in me that will enable me to persevere. But I am sure when I go home to see what has become of the city and my belongings that will cause a permanent indentation on my brain. I have to go to Jefferson Parish on Thursday to make my way into the city for my job. I will see first hand what the city looks like after the destruction of Hurricane Katrina. Pray for me....
