I guess the VMA’s were last night, EVERYBODY freakin watched them. I didn’t watch them. I did watch a shit ton of Katrina coverage and it’s making me so sad and scared. My grandparents live in Baton Rouge, and my aunt and uncle from Paris are supposed to fly into Baton Rouge tomorrow, so that they can spend a few days there before they fly to KC on Friday to spend the weekend with my family there (and me) for Grandmothers 85th birthday. Not to mention that New Orleans is my second favorite city in the world (Right behind Kansas City.) I spent my honeymoon there too. I haven’t seen any pictures yet, I’m almost scared to look for them.  The French Quarter - gone?! The thought of that just scares the bejezuz outta me.  Add into that a little guilt for making jokes about Katrina and her power, and you’ve got one veklehmpt Luka. 

But, as a bright spot, in an otherwise gloomy day : I found out that my “pita” client - the one who makes me the craziest, which is saying a lot - officially has a new company to support him. I’m meeting with the lady on Wednesday to transfer the file/monies and then I’m done. That is like “the BEST news”!  It means he’s got a new start coming, which is something he sorely needs. It means my stress level can go down some, which is something, well, I at least, need. And it means that when I go on vacation I can rest easy. There’s nothing ugly hanging over my head about work and I’m all set!  Since I can’t go into all the details - something about HIPPA and his privacy or whatever :) - you’ll just need to understand that this client is a challenge to work with.  With a Capital C. And having him move on, without having to move on with him, is the just the best news ever. 

But, better news would be that all my family is safe and where they’re supposed to be. Since I’ve also got family in Mobile and they were evac’d in their car and their camper.  My aunt, her husband, and her 5 children (ages 6 to 17.) All I know so far about them is that they’re on the road in their two vehicles and will less us know more when they can.
