Poor Haiti was a horror show prior to this storm. Delray Beach has a lot of Haitians including my SIL and quite a number of my kids' friends from school. A lot of the kids came here without their parents and live with various relatives or friends because their parents wanted them to have more opportunity, but the kids are naturally freaked out about the safety of their families.
Look, Angel, I know you've been out of the loop for a while, but I'm still evil. I don't do errands...unless they're evil errands.

Evacuating with little ones is surely a whole extra level of complexity. Also, walking away from your home not knowing what you might return to isn't fun.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I can't get any info at work about what's going on or what we're doing, which is tough because donors are wondering! Ugh.
In more fun news, I was already to go through my usual lunch decision-tree, when I saw there was a barbecue place I haven't seen before! So I got that. It's actually not amazing, but something different, anyway.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Mmm, barbecue.
My heart goes out Haiti, and everyone in the path of the storm, but Haiti particularly doesn't need any more.
I bought a sandwich for lunch when I got my bagel, forgetting we have a lunch thing for my grandboss's birthday. Maybe sandwich for dinner, maybe lunch tomorrow, time will tell. My lunches and dinners are much more catch-as-catch-can than breakfast.

The lack of communication at my job is mind-boggling sometimes. At least I have the assistants on my side, which sometimes helps.

My stress reduction today. Turn down volume if at work before clicking, but no sound just bringing it up. [link]

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Laura, I like the confetti.

That is a good one!

Jesse, I was a little curious if your work was crazy given the hurricane!
Laura, that would stress me out! Glad at least your kids can try to batten the hatches for you.

In totally shallow news, I'm having a cute outfit day. The weather has turned, so I have leggings on under my dress and a cardigan. So fun when you feel cute.
