save your sanity for later.

Well... sheer awe and terror about size of flood.

Army Corps of Engineers saying Peak Flow out of local res. will not be until TUESDAY.

in the meantime, no internet and no access to downtown or eastern Iowa City for that matter. This is pretty scary.

I haven't been out of the apt for a few days because well, I don't leave all that much normally, but especially right now I just don't want to see... but now can't avoid it because I can see the six (probably more) feet of water covering Highway 6 from my deck. When I walk the dogs I'll try and get some pictures.

Alena got out of CR okay.

I have email access. I am not sure but I may not be getting incoming phone calls. Anne, if you try and don't get me let me know.

Mandatory evacuation within 2 blocks of where I am right now.

I watched what really looked like funnel formation from yet another storm yesterday... it didn't touch down thank dog. There was half inch size hail though.

if any more rain comes... where is it going to GO?

I can't believe my therapist is leaving the center where I see her. This just... fuck, man. I really get her and am comfortable with her and her methods... and to hear that in her opinion, none of the other therapists have quite the right blend of empathy and bluntness for me just fucking blows.

I don't know where I'm going from here anymore. I'm not that sure I knew before but at least I thought I had competent help. Now in the last two months I've lost faith in my psychiatrist and now my therapist is leaving.

There is a distinct shortage of moors around here in which I could wander around in aimlessly in a hopelessly Romantic fashion searching for a soulmate. Unfortunate, because I am certainly in the mood for it.
