Hey, everybody. I'm sorry I got so snarky the last time I posted. I was pretty traumatized by the storm and was just an emotional mess. It looks like the board's been pretty busy.
My husband came home from Cuba early and not a moment too soon. I caught bronchitis a week or two before Katrina and ended up with pneumonia. We came home from the shelter on thursday after the storm and I ended up having these monster panic attacks to the point where I could not sleep in a dark room. I kept having nightmares about people getting washed away and me not being able to save them. I got really depressed and just had a hard time dealing with everything me and the kids had witnessed. My chest is sore from me not being able to catch my breath from panic. It's getten better over the past couple of weeks, but every so often, I still get really scared and panicky for no reason.
Our home was relatively unscathed which is a big blessing. About a month ago, the Air Force decided to move all those in the efmp program to other bases, due to lack of medical care. So, we just got an assignment. We're going back to San Antonio Tx. We're going to rent our house out here in Ocean Springs and see what shakes out when Rick retires. I hate to say it, but I'm not sure i could live here again. There's so much sadness and gloom, not to mention all the people that died here on the coast. I just don't think I can look at here the same way again. I hope I change my mind after a while, because I really do love it here.
Anyway, that's the update on us, minus the snark. I hope you all are doing well.
P.S. We're still going to Disney, even though for about two weeks, I was like Disney who?
