Fuck

Today has been the worst day.

Funeral - heartbreaking. Still processing this.

Brian called to tell me that things are "getting grim" and after talking to a few people I decide to drive back immediately with Robin (who, bless her heart, slept almost the entire way home).

I arrive to an empty, dark house, after driving through standing water to get to our street.

Our street has been evacuated and we had to leave the cats there for the time being.

Brian had frantically been trying to reach me but my cell didn't get the calls. He got us a hotel room. He thought we were dead and literally sobbed when we got there. I've never seen him cry.

So here we are -- in a hotel room, without our cats, worried and exhausted and very sad. Things do indeed look grim and I'm not sure what's going to happen.

Oh my god! I am sending you positive thoughts that you guys stay safe. You, Brian, Robin and the kitties. And your house.

I'm so glad you made it back safe. Poor Brian. Damn.

I was thinking about you a lot today. Now I know why. I love you. xoxo.

Our internet was down all day yesterday, but I was anxiously awaiting a post to hear whether or not you had to evacuate. I saw last night that all the streets connecting to Foster had to begin getting out...

Call me if I can do anything for you three and/or the cats.

Hey, the Quality Inn on North Dodge (N of 80) is super pet friendly, so is the Days Inn, but I'm sure they'll be innudated soon too. I'll keep an eye out for temp housing for you guys, since we're looking too. Good luck!
