Upon the advice of a rather new Jland friend of mine, I am continuing to post entries in at least one journal. I don't usually communicate this way (about my personal life) (preferring to normally email people privately). But, it's easier to update a journal. And because this friend of mine urged me to post, saying that Jland will be supportive to me and people really want to know what is going on with Merry.
Hope people don't get too philosophical with me. Right now, I need to feel as I have some care and concern generating my way, BUT I must admit, I can't take too many ultra "Cheer up" from some people who have everything normal right now. I guess I will just have to hope some folks can be concerned but also a little empathetic, cuz you never know what a disaster is going to do to you until you are in the middle of it. Yesterday I was so upbeat and cheerful and content to rough it out. This AM it's not as easy to be that way.
My major hobbies are this computer,visiting with people, shopping, cleaning, washing (myself, then clothes 2 and or 3X a day) kinda in that order. What? If you are thinking that your friend Merry sounds a little bit obsessive compulsive, you are right, but it's not like I have to take medication for it or that bad, I have gotten this way more since I am not able to work outside the home anymore, due to my physical limitations.
I believe it's the way I handle stress by keeping myself, my house in perfect order. When unable to do that, I have to dig down and find the great core genes I inherited from my awesome parents!! Then, I rise again and can not only cope but maybe go down the block and at least talk to people.HELP SOMEONE ELSE!
I'm gonna make it through this, I just sometimes need to vent, but I am stronger than it may sound. To those of you who have Emailed or called me, thanks again for your concern & Emails. It means the MORE than I can express!
Love your friend,
Love your friend,
Merry

Hi I'm Michelle.
I'm So sorry for what you are going through.
I am thinking of you and keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Michelle!
Hey Merry. I am sorry to hear what you are going through. I have been in a very similar situation when my parents house flooded and we lost almost everything. I personally went through every emotion possible, the 'furious' side of me helped me through It! It took my beloved piano, bed, wardrobe clothes etc. Having to cope being a teenager was tough, but my parents, both pensioners, battled on through. They taught me so much at that time. As long as you remain okay, that Is what matters most. You are In my thoughts. Love Pam xx
Oh Merry! I'm sending you some good vibes and keeping you in my prayers. A hudge hug to you for being so brave as well.

what did i tell you? glad to see you posted floods are so damaging,to bot health and belongings. in my thoughts take care mort xx
came over here from Call for Support; I am sorry you are dealing with this; I can't imagine day by day not knowing what new thing will be thrown at you with flooding, potential new storms, etc; I pray that you will find comfort and peace somehow in the midst of these challenging days
I can barely imagine what it must be like to have your home flooded. I once rode a bicycle through a flood, and it stank. Wishing you fortitude in the days ahead, and hope that damage not get any worse. Came from Call for Support.

Vent away! As an army wife who's husband is in Iraq, I get some of the stupidest statements and questions! So, the last person to tell you to "suck it up, ole girl!" will me.
I have no way of knowing how you feel. Or even what to say. I can say I will pray for you--and shall. I can say I will listen, scream and cry with you. And if this there is anyway that i can come and help you clean up, I'll do that too.
