We are so thankful that New Orleans was not badly damaged, too. We feel like we really dodged a bullet this time.
Although we are used to this, still, in the back of our minds is the utter nightmare we experienced after Katrina. We thought we were taking this one really well, but there was a lot going on on a subconscious level. Today both of us are just unbelievably stiff and sore from having muscles as tight as piano wire for a few days due to subconscious stress. We can hardly walk.
Today I'm planning to just sit, doze on and off, and recover.
I'm glad you dodged the bullet.
The first snow is here! I guess that means golf season is over....
From your many other posts about life in New Orleans I've often thought about trying to talk DW into moving there, but clearly it is not far enough south. If I can talk her into a move south, I want it to be somewhere where I'll never see another snowflake.
We're also forecast to get snow, possibly tonight and then tomorrow, then again on Monday night into Tuesday.
Evidently buying a new snowthrower wasn't enough to stop the snow. Or maybe I didn't spend enough - Ariens makes one that has an electronic fuel injected engine and electric hand warmers built into the handlebars, all the bells & whistles, but I couldn't bring myself to spend the $1,800 that it costs for the 24 inch one.
They are predicting up to five inches for me. I’m looking forward to my first “retired” snowday but it’s on a Saturday morning so it won’t count.
