Aug. 31st, 2005 08:22 amI've been a slug lately. This cold is really kicking my rear, and I just don't want to do anything. I've been wearing my clothes for two days most of the time since Saturday, and I really just don't care if people see/notice - that's kinda sad, innit?
However, I am so thankful to have clean, dry clothes. I am so thankful to still own a washer and dryer, and to have both the electricity and water to run them, nevermind a house to keep them in.
*sigh*
I haven't watched the news like this since the September 11th coverage almost four years ago. I'm sure I would have watched some of the coverage anyway (I really, really just don't watch TV usually - there is only one show I do watch (ER), and that's not on right now anyway), but I've been spending hours watching the weather/news coverage and looking up information online.
September 11th hurt me, yes, but it pales in comparison to watching one of my best friends grapple with the possible death of her mom. The devastation caused by September 11th covered such a (relatively) small area, whereas the debris and destruction from Hurricane Katrina stretches for hundreds of miles. Ground Zero recovered. At this very moment in time, I just can't see that for New Orleans.
