Today is September 11, 2020. I am just now able to gather some of my thoughts and unpack from 2 Evacuations since August 18th. One was a mandatory evac and the other was a warning to be prepared as the Walbridge Fire gained strength and the winds pushed it towards our village again.
My Jeep is still a mess inside
hopefully I can wash it this weekend and repack my car bugout bag. It’s a lot.
I’m unable to return calls or even talk to people for now. I need time to rest, I’m deeply exhausted from taking care of all the people and animals and all the things. Taking care of myself has always been last. Making changes around that.
It’s going very slow. My throat hurts from the smoke.
It’s interesting when one has to evacuate with no time to linger on thoughts and scenarios of what they might need, what they don’t want to loose, what the important documents are.
