Wow, you got that off the internet? In my day, the internet was only used to download pornography.
I was reminded that I never actually updated about the evacuee situation. Last night I got to sleep in my own bed! \o/
I'm still feeling totally drained, which is strange since I got a nearly full night of sleep last night. Nearly. There was one time when I woke from a dead sleep to the sound of some people talking outside for about 30 seconds. It made me leap up and run to the computer to check the San Diego County Emergency website for fire info. PTSD? NAAAAAAH.
On this weekend's agenda: sleep, sleep and more sleep. And lunch with the parents. Which fits the "FOR GOD'S SAKE, DO NOT BREATHE THE AIR!!" mandate for the next 10 days or so.
Some newsperson was saying last night, "it's the air you can't see that's more dangerous." I don't know. I'm thinking if I see a big chunk of air coming at me, that's gotta be bad.

I think it's only natural to be afraid, Michelle. You're probably going to be jumpy for the next little while, and that's fine. Let yourself feel what you need to feel. You'll be fine. *Gently squeezes your shoulders*
I think the newscaster was being a bit insensitive, though I can see his point (and yours). I've woken up at 9am to find my sister has left the gas hob on downstairs in the kitchen. Nowadays, before I go to bed, I ALWAYS have to check the oven/cooker to make sure everything's turned off as it should be. I was pretty freaked at the time, and it's kind of spilled over, but I digress -- this is about you and how you feel right now.
Just remember: if need be, you've got all of us, and we'll be only too glad to support and help you.
Hope you get the rest you so need.

You know, I probably will still be jumpy until they get these things completely out.
And that's pretty freaky about the gas being left on. YIKES.

I'm hoping the reporter was seriously sleep deprived when making that statement. That's awesome.
Glad you're back in your own place, and I hope all is well for you. ::hugs::
