re: Holding the household together since the hurricane but I’m a piece of shite

This is all very familiar to me as far as all the work being done with cleanup, generator care, etc etc. being done last year.

With that said, we didn’t have an infant. But my wife understood the situation and even with a bad back that’s nothing but chronic pain, she was still outside picking up trash, taking apart patio covers, hauling trees and blown down fences…then on top of that put together the financials to a point where the notebook is almost a foot thick.

She’s been a trooper through this entire thing. Only downside is that she doesn’t want to live in Louisiana anymore. Which makes it hard because I know she isn’t happy here, but we will see if that road leads anywhere. Maybe, maybe not.

A year later we’re still waiting on small things with our home to be completed and they’re just thorns in our sides that constantly pick at us every day. Wish I could tell you that it’ll be fine soon and everything will be back to normal like it was before the storm, but it won’t be. The home around you, the town around you, the overall attitude towards your home….it’ll be a while. It won’t be over with a snap of your finger tomorrow or when your lights are back on.
