katrina aftermath

slept for so many hours until i couldn't sleep more.
expecting to work for two days but i called in and was cancelled the next since the unit's census is low. most big easy patients are still on the medical or renal floor. i surfed the internet and cnn news, checkin' what's been happening while my eyes shut. aside from the painful gas prices...[ spent 45 and change for a full tank ], the city is busy accommodating new orleans citizen. establishments and companies opening jobs just for victims and reassuring that licensure and investigations for job hunters will be expedite, rescue teams are non-stop searching for survivors bringing them to town, families being accommodated by ranchers, more survivors receiving debit cards for necessities, kelly usa being rebuilt into a new city.

i have few more days to wait until the love of my life comes back.
last time we talked, we reminished the days when we were in new orleans. the bourbon street, the french quarter, harrah's casino,lafayette cemetery, the cafe du monde's cafe au lait and beignets [yum*]. it would take years to rebuild the city, before we can experience the french & creole cuisine, swamp tours, the garden district, the voodoo tours and vampire and ghost hunting. new orleans is not just jazz and festivals. it's a mixture of culture and heritage. so many great things here. i miss it already and i'm not even from there, what more if i am.
