Wade in the Water

Thank you Rita. You have nearly smashed my optimism and crushed my spirit. How's Idaho this time of year? It's hard to imagine going back to New Orleans. I'm not even sure that I want to go back. My insurance company called me today to make sure that I had the claim numbers. It wasn't even an adjuster - just some administrative person. It's not like I have anything to tell them anyway except, where is my money for living expenses? Why hasn't anyone contacted me about putting us up while we are unable to get to our home? Granted, we don't need it because we are fortunate enough to have family but what if we didn't? Would we have to go to a shelter with an infant?

I'm tired of being an evacuee. I just want to be able to go home.

On the bright side, I'm still enjoying Arizona. I went to a Target today and found the nearest Starbucks yesterday. I also went to my first Trader Joe's this week and looooved it. We visited an nearly empty Tubac and I picked out some things that I would like to buy before leaving.

Addy has been fussy the past couple of days. We think it might be due to the fact that she hates to sleep. She fights sleep all the time and has become over-tired. She's going to have a big day tomorrow as we make impressions of her hands and feet for a paving stone to put in my parents' barren backyard.

We're still hanging in there. I'm so thankful for family and friends.
