[ # ] Permanently Damaged?
April 26th, 2007 under Katrina, NewOrleans, Recovery

Flooded and BurnedI’m riding into work today with two major things on my mind. I will begin my vacation tomorrow and head for a symposium in beautiful North Carolina and I have only two weeks of employment left at the job I hate. I’ll be going back to a job I love.

Then why am I stressed and sad? I’m fatter than pre-K. I have more health problems due to stress. I should be thrilled. For the most part, I enjoy the festivals and food and music and culture of New Orleans much more than before pre-K. But everything else….not so much.

I live with the hope that my return to Xavier and only one job will be such a relief that I’ll be transformed. I’ll eat less, exercise more, and be happier. God help me.

Permanently changed, yes, I think we all are. Hopefully in the long run, we’ll find that change is not damage. Hopefully in the long run we’ll heal and be stronger.

And a vacation might help!

You’ll be missing Jazzfest?

Yep. I’ll get to go to the second weekend though.

Howie,

Are you going to be in the Big Easy May 21-26? We are bringing another group down to help Edgewater. I’d love to meet you.

Yep! I’d love to meet you too Kevin. I’d be glad to give you a tour or suggest a great place to eat!
