Dear So and So

At least she's weakening - and the track is shifting East. Crossing fingers....

For Hurricane Rita, my sister and her DH did all the preps, food, water, board windows, made sure important documents were sealed and put in a safe place, etc.

But the oddest one and actually made sense once I thought about it, take a shower right before the thing hits. People might not have running water to bathe and this being Texas, well everyone knows what the heat and humidity does, you don't know when you'll get to shower again.

Just a thought.

Dear Parents, you DO realize that it is now about a WEEK after the date you said you'd return to Singapore? Don't you? And there has not been a single telephone call or text message or email until the text message I sent you today, which you replied saying you were busy in India. WHAT are you doing in INDIA? You guys work in CHINA!! Now, I'm not by any lengths dying for you guys to return home because we can't really live together that well in the same house but at the same time, something telling me that you're alive as opposed to lying dead in a ditch somewhere would be nice? Especially after 2 months of being away? Yeah.

Oh and its the presidential elections tomorrow. It's apparently a crime not to vote. I hope you guys remember that. Have a good time in India.

Dear BF--

I'm not sure I can take this. Eight months (with you coming to see me a few times), I can handle. Two years (but probably more) with very limited travel prospects? I don't know. This is going to suck.


Love,
Me.

Dear TE ladies
Well, Raleighdon starts his "therapy" on Monday. With notebook and cellphone, he is checking into the WIFI-equipped hospital. He's gained at least 5 pounds this week, is upbeat and happy with his doctors, his team.
I am scared, but he is as always valiant and upbeat. I guess he will feel terrible in a few days, but that's the cure. !
I am thinking about all you east coasters, the last hurricane i was in was Jeanne, and it felt like being in a giant washing machine for 24 hours. This one is bigger and harder. EEEK

Good luck, Mimi. I would be scared to death, too. My DH was so upbeat during his angioplasty that I wanted to hit him. He never acted like anything bad could happen. And he was out riding up huge hills, 5 days later, despite what everyone said, including the doctor. I suspect your DH is similar.

Good luck to you and RD - his attitude sounds perfect! Be sure to take care of yourself too, ask for help if you need it.
