Tragic Thursday

Oh my god. The devastation in New Orleans and across the Gulf Coast is so awful. I don't understand why it took so long for the word to get out about the seriousness of the devastation nor why it took so long to help to get to the victims. It just keeps getting worse and worse. I feel so discouraged and depressed about it.

Thursday was a discouraging day for many reasons. I went into the office, but I felt like I was just spinning my wheels. I didn't get as much accomplished as I would have liked.

In the evening I watched the news and then was too upset to sleep.
