Current Events

A lot can change in a matter of days. This time last week, I was running errands & had about a million things to do on my mind. Even last Saturday, we had a family over, playing games & then helping them move some furniture from one side of the island to the other. Twenty four hours later, the husband part of that family was spending the night at our place because he couldn't get home. His wife & three sons were safe in their home, but there were roadblocks & chaos on the roads between.

Everything disintegrated fast. I had my morning "To-do" list made up by 9am on Sunday (quite an amazing feat) and within the hour, word came that we were to stay in our residences. The freeway through the financial district (read: the north freeway. one of two freeways running east to west) was taken over by large demonstrations. Ooo-kay. I guess I really didn't *need* . . . um, what was it I needed? Oh yeah, to run errands.

Anyway, we're leaving on a jet plane and don't know when we'll be back again. Oh babe, I hate to go. But my bags are packed & ready or not, we're going. Oh, and my 'babe' a.k.a. the hubs, my other half, the dude of the house, is not coming & has to stay and work. The things we do to earn a paycheck.
