Good Morning Days friends!
Just finished an hour plus reading posts and trying to catch up on the unread threads. I missed my daily check ins with each of you and thought about you over our 5 day adventure. Here, as always, it is hot, 91F at 1:34am following a dust storm [evidenced by 2" dust on front porch/house].
We are mentally, physically and emotionally drained after our volunteer service. Hubs thought he would drop right off to sleep but here we sit reading our tablets. It is hard to unwind. Whatever you saw on the tv, read online, or heard from other people: Texas is in worse shape than they can describe. Or that we can describe either!
Such devastation and hurting people who still remain dazed and numb at this point. Hospitals and medical clinics are water damaged, shortages of staff, medications, appliances and food stuffs abound. Yet people come in with items they purchased from drug stores to relieve the needs of other hurt Texans! I have never met a stronger group of people in a disaster area whose first thought is for others.
Words are just hard to come by to properly describe the circumstances, it is overwhelming. Health threats are the next real concern as the waters in some areas recede leaving toxic waters filled with decomposition, viruses, bacteria and other unmentionables. Please keep giving, praying and supporting our Texan friends.
Well, Hubs insists we at least lay down and "pretend to sleep" before the children's alarms start bright and early this morning. Thinking of you all and wishing you a great start to your work week!
