Okay--school is in full swing now, and I am finding it very hard to get back into the swing of it.

Next week will be better, I am sure.

Getting up in the morning SUCKS very much.  Getting to sleep at a decent hour SUCKS very much.  Having to prepare stuff for classes SUCKS very much, as there are many other things I would rather do.

I've written for information about taking in a refugee or two (up to four, I think).  I am a little nervous about this, as taking in a total stranger (or more) can be risky.  I'd like to be able to take in someone I know slightly already--like one of the ladies or gentlement from my Barbie Yahoo Group who are now homeless--or Becca, whom I've met here, and come to be very fond of--but if it is meant to be, someone(s) who are suitable and compatible with me will turn up.

My biggest issue is not having extra beds--but I think I could get a local furniture store to donate some--or local churches or businesses.  My friend Mary and my colleagues at ROC said they would help me if I took in some people--mainly with groceries and clothing items and bedding and stuff like that. 

I feel so helpless to do anything about this hurricane devastation--and the thought of it preys on my mind day and night, making it difficult for me to get to sleep and stay asleep.  If I could help ONE other person, at least it would be SOMETHING.

And I have ROOM!

Well, it's getting late, and I am still not dressed for school.  And I am HUNGRY, having been too tired to eat anything but toast last night for supper.  I am dreaming of scrambled eggs ATM, and if I don't get my ass in gear, it will be TOAST only again.

Tah.
