Wow... I am sooo lucky right now to have a home. I've been homeless for the last four days, and what a whirlwind.. I'm so thankful for good friends that housed me (thanks eva!!! thanks julie!!) and to help distract me from the chaos of the unknown... I wasn't sure if I even had a house until 2 days into the tragic fires. Thanks to all the hot *cough* firemen and other men/women in uniform that are continuing to put these fires out.  I am actually home! Well... I'm not supposed to be, but they let us.. even tho I think they think we're coming back down the mountain. The fires aren't near us anymore, but they are still worried.

What a lesson in learning to let go. In the beginning of all this, I started to go through the things in my house that I would be sad about losing.. and I have TONS! insert-pack rat- here. I actually started to be OK with losing everything. Welcoming the change.. as drastic as it may be. It felt good! My heart started to relax; I wasn't so panicky... things just seemed like "stuff" to me that didn't matter anymore. In a sense, it's almost sad that we didn't lose everything, to actually force that letting go. But I have to say, having my own bed to sleep in tonight is rather exciting (Although! I did sleep in a tempurpedic bed last night, oh my gawd! *swoon*)

I'm so happy to be sitting next to my lemongina... If I lost her, I would, of course, be sad, but I have pictures... so it would be ok *le sigh* Well, that's about it! I'm safe! I'm a survivor!! wooooooooooooooooooo!! Ooh ooh AND I got interviewed FOUR times today-three TV one Radio.. so check me out if you're local! And er.. if you have tv....  :)
