I think when a person expiriences stress, he or she tends to focus on things that are important when everything is normal. I was once at a gas station, heard a bang and when I turned( I swear all of this happend in slow motion like in a movie) a car flipped over the hood of another car it had hit, sommersaulted and rolled 2 more times befor it came to a stop on its wheels, the drivers door opened, a girl got out, started screaming and shaking and then dropped to the ground. First thing she said while a carpool of ER nurses who had just finished their shift started checking her were:<BR/><BR/>1. Where is my purse?<BR/>2. Somebody has to call the so and so bar and tell them I'll be late for work.<BR/><BR/>yeah...right...<BR/><BR/>Well and as GR said, a lot of your personal history is tied to those things. Well. Your branch president has your photo albums, right? Maybe you could get him a key to your apartment if things went completly wrong he could try to ship your most favorite things(once that is possible again) and maybe things will calm down and you are back in 4 weeks. I told Jerrold the sick part of me wants to know what it feels like to live in a city that is being bombed, but the sick part of me also wants to know what a big earthquake feels life. Jerrold having expirienced the last big one in LA just thinks I am nuts and says I do not know what I am talking about. Well, to finally stop the ramblings. Being here in complete oblivion we are glad to know you are on your way to what all of us consider safety. I hope you get to have a 2 day "vacation" out of this at the Mövenpick...Karin<BR/><BR/>PS: Sunday is the last time we meet in our new building 30th of July is the first time in the new one! Hooray!

It really makes you decide what is important in your life. Now that I'm "on my own" and don't have to bunk with other people's families, I'm completely attached to everything I own. I can't imagine having to narrrow it down to 15 kilos for me. I hope you start to feel better and hopefully the visits with family that are coming up with help and not worsen your fragile state.kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399071727347739404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17520917.post-1153232164295163462006-07-18T16:16:00.000+02:002006-07-18T16:16:00.000+02:00Mary Ann-I'm so happy that you guys made it out. ...Mary Ann-<BR/><BR/>I'm so happy that you guys made it out.

Your choice of title is appropriate when I think of others who have basically left everything without knowing if they would ever see it again.
