Good morning, Glory....Hello, Sunshine!

Yo. I woke up around 12ish this morning. So I feel a little bit better...but I still have my cough and it hurts all over my torso when I cough. Plus the feel of the junk in my throat isn’t pleasant in the least.
The sun just came out a little while ago. The wind is still taking its fury out on anything in it’s path, but the rain has stopped. Mom and I turned on HTV (Houma TV) and were devastated by what we saw. Dulac, Montegut, lower Lafourche, lower Terrebonne...all flooded. People are out in their boats rather than their houses. The bayous have over bourn their banks and you can no longer tell where the roads are. Schools, Churches, Homes, Garages, Business, Post offices...all are flooded. The water ranges from a few inches in the door, to nearly the tops of mail boxes and windows. The scary part...is that we are lucky. We weren’t hit nearly as hard as Lafayette, Abbeville, Lake Charles, and Port Arthur.
As for us, we are extremely blessed. We have the high ground, and so we didn’t flooded. But the only wind damage we’ve sustained is the loss of a small apple tree. We are so blessed.
Now, I am off to go take some medicine, lay in bed with Mr. Bunny, and try to forget this ache in my chest. Later.
PS: For those of you who want to know (I know you're few and far between) I've switched screen names. I'm now GarGirlMM on AIM.
