I've made it back home (again) and it seems I'll be here more permanently now. Lots to do to catch up on a missed month (where did September go?) and figure out what "life as normal" will be. For starters, I want my mail! We went to the post office today and had the equivalent of 2 days' worth of mail, not six weeks.
Though I don't know when I'll be resuming doula work or childbirth education, I'm open to inquiries from expectant moms in New Orleans who are interested in either. Email me and we'll discuss what options are available.
For those who have wondered, we have food, water, electricity, etc. and a secure roof over our heads. Actually, work in our apartment complex has begun in earnest and it's looking much better around here, even as compared to before the storm (in some ways)! Security is good. There's nothing like having a humvee pull up to your front door - literally - to deliver water & MREs! Now *that's* curb service!
