Wednesday – A Surrealistic Normalcy

Aside from the fact that I am home on a Wednesday (my company is supposed to open up again Tomorrow, unless we get another update saying otherwise), things are pretty normal around my house. The power and water are back (though we have to boil the water before we can drink it), and around the house things seem pretty much the same as always. That is, unless I step outside and look at the piles of lumber stacked neatly along the front walkway from the tree that fell on the house, and the pine tree still lying prone in the front lawn that we haven't got around to moving yet.
There is plastic on a lot of the rooftops around me, and smashed cars still in sit some of the driveways. Still, with the pictures of Galveston Island on the front page of my morning paper give me the perspective to see that these things are just minor inconveniences.
