In Florida, Mom and I endured five full powerless days in Irma's aftermath. We made it off prayers, and for mom peanut butter sandwiches. For breakfast she would have a nutrigrain, lunch would be peanut butter on crackers and dinner was a peanut Butter sandwich. I had a little tuna fish and that was it. By Friday my mother ha enough as her behavior started to shift. The heat was starting to get to her even though she was drinking water. But then again, how much water can an 89 year old drink in one day? Even though I was able to get a fish sandwich from McDonald's for Mom we were both thankful to God the power came back for us Friday evening. I then had to stay around and do some food shopping and get that power of attorney form filled out and filed. Now I can go home and earn a few dollars. The first check I have showing my family leave hours is for a little more than $400. My next one will be for about $500.
Currently I am in Atlanta. The way it was supposed to go was on September 17th I was to go to Florida to check mom out as well as celebrate my aunt's birthday. But Irma happened and I had to get to Florida a week earlier. I just connected the trips. I will be taking the rain back Sunday.
No more hurricanes I hope
