Hello,
Yesterday while walking on the trail,
I came close to a business that was doing some clean up from last summer’s
derecho. One of the guys was in the mood to talk after I complimented him on
how much better it looked around there. Besides the cleanup they have a new
roof and new siding.
He said that their company, which does
some construction work, is booked for nine months yet. He added, “People call
and they want an estimate. But I have to tell them there are only so many hours
in the day and we cannot do that yet. It is still so hard.”
Then he told about his wife getting
her derecho damaged car’s body work done. He said, “The car body shop said they
are booked through January.”
I know there are still many damaged cars
sitting around, but I had no idea about the repair lines. That storm raised my
consciousness in many ways.
Today I again heard about storms
coming, but to the southern USA. I have new feelings of empathy for what they
might be facing. If they were talking about our area, I would be seriously
preparing.
Leroy has to increase his level of
meds back to the former level. His blood work showed an infection. He has also
been experiencing some headaches. Hopefully this will take care of that.
On a side note, would you believe I
went to the store for a gallon of milk and come home with $25 worth of groceries?
Paula
