Waiting

Props to the Franklin Parish Library for having internet, apparently a rare commodity in these parts. Last night northeast Louisiana got its fair share of Gustav. We lost power at my parents around 10 p.m. and got it back about 7 a.m. this morning. The rain continues however. As for things back home, we don't know much. St. John the Baptist Parish is closed as is nearly all of southeast Louisiana. It may be Thursday at the earliest before we are allowed to go back. Jaime is still uncertain where the bank will send her. There's just too much uncertainty for people to make a firm decision. Southern Baptist are already on the move to set up feeding and other disaster relief units in our area. But as for the rest of us, we have to wait. Jaime and I are passing the time with board games and such. Today is her 30th birthday by the way. This is the second time in four years that she has had to celebrate her birthday while evacuated. I hate that because we should be partying instead of whispering to one another over computer screens. Sorry Sweetie, we'll get our groove on later.
