A refreshing Breath

[thirteenrocks]

Met up with someone I have been talking to on the internet (gay.com). He came over and there was a nice dinner and coffee. It was very refreshing to meet someone who I could have a decent conversation with, watch a movie with and not have to explain everything. Wow there are quite normal people out there... crazy!

Still battling my cold. I'll have to try to get a script from one of the doc's this weekend. At least I am able to get out of bed and be somewhat active-but this cold is getting old.

Tried calling auryn24's cell phone. Didn't even get her voice mail. Have been lurking in the Nola live journal group, with no results but interesting information is abound. Someone mentioned about how we can send troups over to a foriegn country, yet can't control a situation in our own country. Its so hard because the area is basically a ground zero. Everything is shut down, phone lines, power, and postal mail is totally out of the question. Pretty scary.....

Exactly. I'm hoping in the next week we hear word... of some sort... and I am sure she will need alot once she gets re-settled. The bridge/road to La Place I am sure is OUT, not sure how she will get back to La Place, per se.

Keep you posted,

Tried to comment to Mansborn, but it is a "friends only comment" journal. I'd really just want to know that liz is A) o.k. and B) where she is at

ok, found this in her journal.. from geminimystique who is a "friends only" person so I couldnt go check her for more info..

Liz and I texted a few times back and forth last night. She was still at Methodist in NO (I think they are evacuating it today), still with no power, little food, water and medicine. She said things were bad, but she was still optimistic. She asked for prays.

Cell phone service is sketchy at best to our part of the world (Baton Rouge-New Orleans), but text messages seem to work well.



that was on 9-1 it looks like..
