Post Gustav – Part 1

After quite a whirlwind of a few weeks, I am finally getting back on track. So I thought I would give you an update of what’s been going on over here in my neck of the woods in Louisiana.
First, I want to thank Kristen for taking the reigns while I was away. Otherwise you would have heard a lot of chirping around here.
Thank you, Kristen!
I don’t want to bore you with all the gory details, but suffice it to say my children and I left town a few weeks ago upon the impending doom of Gustav. I’m so glad we did leave, too.
Gustav hit our little south-central town in Louisiana and ripped it to pieces. Thankfully, the home we rent sustained very minimal damage. However, several people in our community lost everything they had.
Electricity was down several days. Do you know what’s worse than starting over from scratch when you move two states away? I found out when I came back home. It’s having to throw away everything in your refrigerator and freezer and having to start all over again.
My home phone has been down for weeks as well. They finally came out a couple of days ago and fixed that. So life as we know it is slowly returning to normal. And this leads me to Part 2 of my update: How did my weight loss fare during my evacuation period?
