day 10 since hurricane ike came thru...

after giving my firstborn to the insurance company, the leasing office and property management, a little man came over and partially removed the wet soiled carpet from the bedroom, but left the spore riddened sheetrock on the wall (i'll take pictures tonight). i honestly cant tell if the air quality is any better, because i now have allergic bronchitis. which basically means, a fire could pop off in this place and i wouldn't smell the smoke!

out of the original 2 million people in houston that were without power, 800,000 are still suffering. they are now developing what i've coined "NPS" aka "No Power Syndrome". symptoms include: boofy hair, grunge attire, excess pounds & frustration. trust me, i've been there. when u have no power, u eat all u can eat wherever u can eat "at"! every place u visit, the first thing u look for is an outlet to plug up your iphone, ipod or flat iron. ...its true!!! life as u know it suddenly ends and u begin to think creatively, like "how can i cook this mac n cheese on the grill", "maybe i'll walk the mall for some free AC", "hmmm...i sure hope i didn't pay that damn light bill"...and so on. but in the end, it may be a bit of a wake up call for americans to appreciate energy and get on the green wagon and start conserving. u think?
