2. Hurricane Maria is going to trash more islands in her wake. They haven't even cleaned up from Irma and now Maria is coming through with 175mph winds. What can stand that?
3. Houston is trying to get back to normal. Piles of wet drywall and furniture and belongings are being picked up by trash trucks all around the city. Homes whose walls are torn down to the studs and hopefully the wood will dry out in a month or so.
4. The first thing the NIMBY neighbors across the road bitched about was low flying jets taking off for Pacific routes between 0001 and 0230. Their houses rumbled. We're all 4 or so miles from LAX and sometimes due to weather, weight and wind flights use the reverse runways. It's not like it's every night. And usually, when it's really stormy, they'll land from the Pacific as well. Getovahit!
5. Now the NIMBY neighbors are bitching about the likelihood of a certain market going into an empty space where Albertsons/Lucky was for many years until they closed and Haggens came in and went out of business within a year. CVS has leased the entire building and will use half. The other half will hopefully be a market. A company called Grocery Outlet has expressed interest and the NIMBY's are out in force. My goodness, they are saying prevent them from invading our neighborhood. INVADE? Like they will bring a new classless society into the area? Will this store drop the property values on their 900K McMansions which they built on the footprint of 1940's bungalows (which now sell for close to 600K thanks to ZIP code inflation)?
6. Still no health insurance. I'm going to have to wait till open season and pray right now that the bill to end the Affordable Care Act doesn't pass. I've got so many pre-existing conditions that we will be priced out of the market. I get health care for my shoulder but I don't have insurance or the money to see a regular doctor. My husband pays through the nose for health care for himself. We couldn't afford the premiums for me.
This is thanks to the Department of Labor who says that I should be working full time as something. But riddle me this, I take narcotics and strong muscle relaxants BID and I'm basically not good for anything. I have constant pain in my shoulder. This has been going on for 13+ years. Cutting my workers comp has led to all sorts of problems. Late for rent, late for everything. I wonder if my doctor can have me file a new claim for mental health problems?
Hopefully, things will improve. They have to. I can't take much more.
Peace.
