I'm not even really affected and no one in my family is, either.
It was just the memories of living in Florida for 28 years -- hurricanes were vicious storms then and they're 1,000 per cent worse now, even though we can track them better.
I had nightmares last night -- thought there were snakes crawling up a white bi-fold door -- couldn't sleep and got up at 3 AM. I wish I could put away these awful feelings. The irony is that I'm supposed to be getting ready for a fantastic three-week Hawaiian vacation, with seven other people -- and I feel very guilty.

| 6. No Amount Of Feeling Bad On YOUR Part Will Help. Your Awareness |

is already awake. You deserve a break, a chance to shut off the news and concentrate on the beauty around you.
The world, and DU, will still be here when you get back replenished.

| 7. My plans for the day include a swim and some food shopping -- |

The weather has been beautiful here in Oregon and I'm grateful for our sunny days. I happen to like cold weather, so the Hawaii break will be a push. Besides that, I get to care for two grandchildren while we give their parents a couple of days off.
I'm replenishing at your insistence. I guess that's not a "crying shame," is it?

I needed that. I've been glued to the TV for what seems like weeks and I have to get out of here and go for a walk. No wonder I'm so depressed and angry.
Kiss-kiss for your good idea.
